I am trying to replace process_group() and process_session() calls in
copy_process() with task_pgrp() and task_session().

Since task_pid() task_pgrp(), task_session() for the swapper are NULL, I
had to treat swapper as special in this patch and would like some comments.

Should we instead do some magic in start_kernel() so we don't have to treat
swapper special or maybe move the check for pid_t == 0 into task_pgrp()/
task_session() ?

P.S: For find_attach_pid()/attach_pid(), pls see my recent patches to Containers@
     and LKML.

Replace process_group() and process_session() with container-friendly task_pgrp() and
task_session().
