This is a bit offtopic/cosmetic and we can do this later, just for record
before I forget this...

This new helper is (simplified after you removed __PIDTYPE_TGID/leader_pid) can
have more users: task_pid_type(), init_task_pid(). In fact even (say)
task_tgid()
can use it if we export it inline.
And if we make task_pid_ptr() the only user of signal->pids[] array we can
shrink
it, signal->pids[0] is not used. Or may be we can simply redefine enum pid_type,
we can define PIDTYPE_PID == -1 or move it at the end, or do something else.
Once again, this is just random/minor thoughts, feel free to ignore.
