[PATCH v2 1/2] proc: Use PIDTYPE_TGID in next_tgid

[ebiederm@xmission.com (Eric W. Biederman)]

Combine the pid_task and thes test has_group_leader_pid into a single
dereference by using pid_task(PIDTYPE_TGID).

This makes the code simpler and proof against needing to even think
about any shenanigans that de_thread might get up to.
