    ms/pidns: fix NULL dereference in __task_pid_nr_ns()
    
    commit 81b1a832d79749058863cffe2c0ed4ef40f6e6ec upstream.
    
    I got a crash during a "perf top" session that was caused by a race in
    __task_pid_nr_ns() :
    
    pid_nr_ns() was inlined, but apparently compiler chose to read
    task->pids[type].pid twice, and the pid->level dereference crashed
    because we got a NULL pointer at the second read :
    
        if (pid && ns->level <= pid->level) { // CRASH
    
    Just use RCU API properly to solve this race, and not worry about "perf
    top" crashing hosts :(
    
    get_task_pid() can benefit from same fix.
