Subject[PATCH] Prevent reuse of active thread group id

The thread group id of a task is initially assigned the value of that
task's pid, then is inherited for each child task created with
CLONE_THREAD. This patch makes sure that the thread group id is never
re-used as another task's pid as long as there's an active task with that
tgid.

Patch is below.
