Subject: [PATCH 5/8] introduce find_get_task_by_vpid()

Introduce the new helper, find_get_task_by_vpid(), which simply
does find_task_by_vpid() + get_task_struct() under rcu_read_lock().

It has several potential users which currently do this by hand,
and we are going to add clone_vfork_restart() which needs it too.
