Oh, I naively assumed task_pgrp() would take an rcu lock...

kernel/sys.c takes both, i.e.

rcu_read_lock();
write_lock_irq(&tasklist_lock);

though I think we should be fine with just rcu_read_lock(). setpgid()
indicates that it wants to check real_parent and needs the
write_lock_irq() because it might change behind its back which we don't
care about since we're not changing the pgrp.
