[PATCH] pids: kill PIDTYPE_TGID
This patch kills PIDTYPE_TGID pid_type thus saving one hash table in kernel/pid.c and speeding up subthreads create/destroy a bit. It is also a preparation for the further tref/pids rework. This patch adds 'struct list_head thread_group' to 'struct task_struct' instead. We don't detach group leader from PIDTYPE_PID namespace until another thread inherits it's ->pid == ->tgid, so we are safe wrt premature free_pidmap(->tgid) call. Currently there are no users of find_task_by_pid_type(PIDTYPE_TGID). Should the need arise, we can use find_task_by_pid()->group_leader.
