<id>2d70b68d42b5196a48ccb639e3797f097ef5bea3</id>
<content type='text'>
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}.

I outwitted myself again in commit 2b2a1ff64afbadac842bbc58c5166962cf4f7664,
and broke the SA_NOCLDWAIT behavior so it leaks zombies.  This fixes it.

Since f82b217e3513fe3af342c0f3ee1494e86250c21c lockdep can output spurious
warnings related to hwirqs due to hardirq_off shrinkage from int to bit-sized
flag. Guard it with double negation to fix the warning.

David reported that his Niagra spend a little too much time in
tg_shares_up(), which considering he has a large cpu count makes sense.

So scale the ratelimit value with the number of cpus like we do for
other controls as well.
