/proc/self points to /proc/<tgid>, not to /proc/<tid>, and thus
"self" actually means "group leader".

Change fs/proc/self.c to print the caller's tid, this is probably
what the users actually expect.

Note: this is obviously semantically different and the difference
is subtle, but most (all?) users should not notice this change.
Lets see if it breaks something.
