PATCH 1/1 Fix the sys_setpgrp() to work between namespaces

The check if (task_pgrp_nr(p) != pgid) is almost always true,
because pgid is a "virtual" pid and it is most often much smaller than the "real" pgrp id of any task (because pids are generated sequentially most of the time). This leads to the task's pgrp is always reset, even if it is not needed.
