Subject: [PATCH 040/109] kernel: add do_getpgid() helper; remove internal call to sys_getpgid()

Using the do_getpgid() helper removes an in-kernel call to the
sys_getpgid() syscall.

This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180325162527.GA17492@light.dominikbrodowski.net
