pidns: fix NULL dereference in __task_pid_nr_ns()
I got a crash during a "perf top" session that was caused by a race in
__task_pid_nr_ns() :
pid_nr_ns() was inlined, but apparently compiler chose to read
task->pids[type].pid twice, and the pid->level dereference crashed
because we got a NULL pointer at the second read :
if (pid && ns->level <= pid->level) { // CRASH
Just use RCU API properly to solve this race, and not worry about "perf
top" crashing hosts :(
get_task_pid() can benefit from same fix.
