Subject: move daemonized kernel threads into the swapper's session
From: Oleg Nesterov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Daemonized kernel threads run in the init's session. This doesn't match the
behaviour of kthread_create()'ed threads, and this is one of the 2 reasons
why we need a special hack in sys_setsid().
Now that set_special_pids() was changed to use struct pid, not pid_t, we can
use init_struct_pid and set 0,0 special pids.
