tty: Fix multiple races when setting the controlling terminal
Claim a read lock on the tasklist_lock while setting the controlling
terminal for the session leader. This fixes multiple races:
1. task_pgrp() and task_session() cannot be safely dereferenced, such
as passing to get_pid(), without holding either rcu_read_lock() or
tasklist_lock
2. setsid() unwisely allows any thread in the thread group to
make the thread group leader the session leader; this makes the
unlocked reads of ->signal->leader and signal->tty potentially
unordered, stale or even have spurious values.
