[PATCH 1/7] pid: Implement access helpers for a tacks various process groups.

["Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>]

task_session returns the struct pid of a tasks session.
task_pgrp    returns the struct pid of a tasks process group.
task_tgid    returns the struct pid of a tasks thread group.
task_pid     returns the struct pid of a tasks process id.

These can be used to avoid unnecessary hash table lookups,
and to implement safe pid comparisions in the face of a
pid namespace.
