pid: Implement PIDTYPE_TGID
Everywhere except in the pid array we distinguish between a tasks pid and a tasks tgid (thread group id). Even in the enumeration we want that distinction sometimes so we have added __PIDTYPE_TGID. With leader_pid we almost have an implementation of PIDTYPE_TGID in struct signal_struct. Add PIDTYPE_TGID as a first class member of the pid_type enumeration and into the pids array. Then remove the __PIDTYPE_TGID special case and the leader_pid in signal_struct. The net size increase is just an extra pointer added to struct pid and an extra pair of pointers of an hlist_node added to task_struct. The effect on code maintenance is the removal of a number of special cases today and the potential to remove many more special cases as PIDTYPE_TGID gets used to it's fullest. The long term potential is allowing zombie thread group leaders to exit, which will remove a lot more special cases in the code. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
