Subject: [PATCH 1/1] bpf: Drop unprotected find_vpid() in favour of find_get_pid()

The documentation for find_pid() clearly states:

  "Must be called with the tasklist_lock or rcu_read_lock() held."

Presently we do neither.

In an ideal world we would wrap the in-lined call to find_vpid() along
with get_pid_task() in the suggested rcu_read_lock() and have done.
However, looking at get_pid_task()'s internals, it already does that
independently, so this would lead to deadlock.

Instead, we'll use find_get_pid() which searches for the vpid, then
takes a reference to it preventing early free, all within the safety
of rcu_read_lock().  Once we have our reference we can safely make use
of it up until the point it is put.
