[Devel] task->tgid conversion in fs/locks.c

[sukadev at us.ibm.com]

Pavel,

I noticed that fcntl tests in LTP fail when LTP is run a child pid
namespace. I just hacked up this quick patch and seems to fix the
failures.

Are you already working on this or do you want me to test and send
this out for review. 

I have one concern that I could use some review/confirmation :-)

Even if the main thread of a process exits before the child threads,
the main thread will not be reaped until all threads exit.  So, the
'task->group_leader' remains valid for the child threads until the
last non-leader thread exits.

IOW the call to task_tgid_vnr() is safe in locks_remove_posix() and
locks_remove_flock().
