[patch] fix setpriority(PRIO_PGRP) thread iterator breakage.

From: Ken Chen
Date: Fri Aug 15 2008 - 11:25:43 EST


When user calls sys_setpriority(PRIO_PGRP ...) on a NPTL style multi-LWP
process, only the task leader of the process is affected, all other sibling
LWP threads didn't receive the setting. The problem was that the iterator
used in sys_setpriority() only iteartes over one task for each process,
ignoring all other sibling thread.

Introduce a new macro do_each_pid_thread / while_each_pid_thread to walk
each thread of a process. Convert 4 call sites in {set/get}priority and
ioprio_{set/get}.
