Subject: [PATCH 4.9 146/222] memfd: Use radix_tree_deref_slot_protected to avoid the warning.

From: zhong jiang <zhongjiang@...wei.com>

The commit 3ce6b467b9b2 ("memfd: Fix locking when tagging pins")
introduces the following warning messages.

*WARNING: suspicious RCU usage in memfd_wait_for_pins*

It is because we still use radix_tree_deref_slot without read_rcu_lock.
We should use radix_tree_deref_slot_protected instead in the case.
