Subject: [PATCH v3 1/1] bpf: Drop unprotected find_vpid() in favour of find_get_pid()

The documentation for find_vpid() clearly states:

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

Presently we do neither.

Let's 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.
