Use pid_t instead of int in the declarations of sys_kill, sys_tgkill,

The description is no good.  *Why* are you changing it?

I checked tgkill and, indeed, tgkill takes pid_t parameters, so this
fixes an incorrect declaration.  I'm wondering why the code compiles
without warning.  Is SYSCALL_DEFINE too lenient for some reason?  Or
is pid_t just defined as int.
