Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] mm: use pidfd_get_task()

From: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@...ntu.com>

Instead of duplicating the same code in two places use the newly added
pidfd_get_task() helper. This fixes an (unimportant for now) bug where
PIDTYPE_PID is used whereas PIDTYPE_TGID should have been used.
