connector: fix regression introduced by sid connector

Browse source 
Since commit 02b51df1b0 (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?)
