    connector: fix regression introduced by sid connector · 0d0df599

    Since commit 02b51df1 (proc connector: add
    event for process becoming session leader) we have the following warning:
    
    Badness at kernel/softirq.c:143

    The warning is
    --->    WARN_ON_ONCE(in_irq() || irqs_disabled());
    
    The network code must not be called with disabled interrupts but
    sys_setsid holds the tasklist_lock with spinlock_irq while calling the
    connector.
    
    After a discussion we agreed that we can move proc_sid_connector from
    __set_special_pids to sys_setsid.
    
    We also agreed that it is sufficient to change the check from
    task_session(curr) != pid into err > 0, since if we don't change the
    session, this means we were already the leader and return -EPERM.
    
    One last thing:
    There is also daemonize(), and some people might want to get a
    notification in that case. Since daemonize() is only needed if a user
    space does kernel_thread this does not look important (and there seems
    to be no consensus if this connector should be called in daemonize). If
    we really want this, we can add proc_sid_connector to daemonize() in an
    additional patch (Scott?)
