Isolate some explicit usage of task->tgid
With pid namespaces this field is now dangerous to use explicitly, so hide it behind the helpers. Also the pid and pgrp fields o task_struct and signal_struct are to be deprecated. Unfortunately this patch cannot be sent right now as this leads to tons of warnings, so start isolating them, and deprecate later. Actually the p->tgid == pid has to be changed to has_group_leader_pid(), but Oleg pointed out that in case of posix cpu timers this is the same, and thread_group_leader() is more preferable.
