pids: introduce change_pid() helper
Based on Eric W. Biederman's idea.
Without tasklist_lock held task_session()/task_pgrp() can return NULL if the
caller races with setprgp()/setsid() which does detach_pid() + attach_pid().
This can happen even if task == current.
Intoduce the new helper, change_pid(), which should be used instead. This way
the caller always sees the special pid != NULL, either old or new.
Also change the prototype of attach_pid(), it always returns 0 and nobody
check the returned value.
