Oleg Nesterov 6dda81f438 pids: document task_pgrp/task_session is not safe without tasklist/rcu
Even if task == current, it is not safe to dereference the result of
task_pgrp/task_session.  We can race with another thread which changes the
special pid via setpgid/setsid.

Document this.  The next 2 patches give an example of the unsafe usage, we
have more bad users.
