Isolate the explicit usage of signal->pgrp
The pgrp field is not used widely around the kernel so it is now marked as deprecated with appropriate comment. The initialization of INIT_SIGNALS is trimmed because a) they are set to 0 automatically; b) gcc cannot properly initialize two anonymous (the second one is the one with the session) unions. In this particular case to make it compile we'd have to add some field initialized right before the .pgrp. This is the same patch as the 1ec320afdc9552c92191d5f89fcd1ebe588334ca one (from Cedric), but for the pgrp field. Some progress report: We have to deprecate the pid, tgid, session and pgrp fields on struct task_struct and struct signal_struct. The session and pgrp are already deprecated. The tgid value is close to being such - the worst known usage in in fs/locks.c and audit code. The pid field deprecation is mainly blocked by numerous printk-s around the kernel that print the tsk->pid to log.
