[PATCH 1/1] setsid: should work for sub-threads
setsid() does not work unless the calling process is a
thread_group_leader().
'man setpgid' does not tell anything about that, so I consider
this behaviour is a bug.

(see similar patch for setpgid by Oleg Nesterov). This one also required
modifying kernel/exit.c:__set_special_pids() (and it's prototype in
sched.h).
Please review...
