Add RCU check for find_task_by_vpid().
find_task_by_vpid() says "Must be called under rcu_read_lock().". But due to
commit 3120438 "rcu: Disable lockdep checking in RCU list-traversal primitives",
we are currently unable to catch "find_task_by_vpid() with tasklist_lock held
but RCU lock not held" errors due to the RCU-lockdep checks being
suppressed in the RCU variants of the struct list_head traversals.
This commit therefore places an explicit check for being in an RCU
read-side critical section in find_task_by_pid_ns().
===================================================
[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
---------------------------------------------------
kernel/pid.c:386 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!
other info that might help us debug this:
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
1 lock held by rc.sysinit/1102:
#0: (tasklist_lock){.+.+..}, at: [<c1048340>] sys_setpgid+0x40/0x160
stack backtrace:
Pid: 1102, comm: rc.sysinit Not tainted 2.6.35-rc3-dirty #1
Call Trace:

Commit updated to use a new rcu_lockdep_assert() exported API rather than
the old internal __do_rcu_dereference().
