2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg(a)redhat.com>

commit 6da8d866d0d39e9509ff826660f6a86a6757c966 upstream.

release_one_tty(tty) can be called when tty still has a reference
to pgrp/session. In this case we leak the pid.
