[PATCH] tty: update the tty layer to work with struct pid
Of kernel subsystems that work with pids the tty layer is probably the largest consumer. But it has the nice virtue that the assiation with a session only lasts until the session leader exits. Which means that no reference counting is required. So using struct pid winds up being a simple optimization to avoid hash table lookups. In the long term the use of pid_nr also ensures that when we have multiple pid spaces mixed everything will work correctly. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
