- sys_setpgid-simplify-pid-ns-interaction.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm@linux-foundation.org]

The patch titled
     sys_setpgid(): simplify pid/ns interaction
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     sys_setpgid-simplify-pid-ns-interaction.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: sys_setpgid(): simplify pid/ns interaction
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru>

sys_setpgid() does unneeded conversions from pid_t to "struct pid" and vice
versa.  Use "struct pid" more consistently.  Saves one find_vpid() and
eliminates the explicit usage of ->nsproxy->pid_ns.  Imho, cleanups the
code.

Also use the same_thread_group() helper.
