start the global /sbin/init with 0,0 special pids

As Eric pointed out, there is no problem with init starting with sid == pgid
== 0, and this was historical linux behavior changed in 2.6.18.

Remove kernel_init()->__set_special_pids(), this is unneeded and complicates
the rules for sys_setsid().

This change and the previous change in daemonize() mean that /sbin/init does
not need the special "session != 1" hack in sys_setsid() any longer. We can't
remove this check yet, we should cleanup copy_process(CLONE_NEWPID) first, so
update the comment only.
