Lock the session to which the pgrps belong first, then lock the pgrps.
AFAIK, there are only two places to lock two pgrps, namely enterpgrp()
and fixjobc() with an argument 'entering' set to nonzero. In both
cases, either the pgrps belong to the same session or one of the pgrps
belongs to a brand-new session with no other pgrps.

Aaugh, I finished that work two hours ago :)

Fine.

Yes.
