[patch] fix NPTL thread iterator construct in cap_set_pg()

From: Ken Chen

The usage of while_each_pid_task() construct in cap_set_pg() looks incorrect.
The macro is meant to form 'do ... while' loop instead of a simple while loop.
I think currently it will skip thread leader of a NPTL process.

Fix by convert to 'do ... while' style.
