Subject: [PATCH 3.10 06/22] include/linux/sched.h: dont use task->pid/tgid in same_thread_group/has_group_leader_pid

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@...hat.com>

commit e1403b8edf669ff49bbdf602cc97fefa2760cb15 upstream.

task_struct->pid/tgid should go away.

1. Change same_thread_group() to use task->signal for comparison.

2. Change has_group_leader_pid(task) to compare task_pid(task) with
   signal->leader_pid.
