[PATCH] getpid() comment typo

[PATCH] getpid() comment typo

[Robert Love]

Linus,

Comment above getpid() is wrong.

This patch fixes it, and expands the comment to explain why on earth we
have getpid() returning ->tgid and not ->pid.

Patch is against 2.5.41, por favor, mi mejor pingüino, se aplica.
