audit: use task_tgid_nr() instead of task_pid_nr()

Browse Source 
In a few audit records, PIDs were being recorded with task_pid_nr()
instead of task_tgid_nr().

$ grep "task_pid_nr" kernel/audit*.c
audit.c:       task_pid_nr(current),
auditfilter.c: pid = task_pid_nr(current);
auditsc.c:     audit_log_format(ab, " pid=%u", task_pid_nr(current));

For single-thread applications, the process id (pid) and the thread
group id (tgid) are the same. However, on multi-thread applications,
task_pid_nr() returns the current thread id (user-space's TID), while
task_tgid_nr() returns the main thread id (user-space's PID). Since
the users are more interested in the process id (pid), rather than the
thread id (tid), this patch converts these callers to the correct method.
