[PATCH] pid: Properly detect orphaned process groups in exit_notify

Browse source 
In commit 0475ac0845 when converting the
orphaned process group handling to use struct pid I made a small
mistake.  I accidentally replaced an == with a !=.

Besides just being a dumb thing to do apparently this has a bad side
effect.  The improper orphaned process group detection causes kwin to
die after a suspend/resume cycle.

I'm amazed this patch has been around as long as it has without anyone
else noticing something funny going on.

And the following people deserve credit for spotting and helping
to reproduce this.
