task_session returns the struct pid of a tasks session.
task_pgrp returns the struct pid of a tasks process group.
task_tgid returns the struct pid of a tasks thread group.
task_pid returns the struct pid of a tasks process id.
These can be used to avoid unnecessary hash table lookups,
and to implement safe pid comparisions in the face of a
pid namespace.
