wait_task_continued/zombie: don't use task_pid_nr_ns() lockless
Surprise, the other two wait_task_*() functions also abuse the task_pid_nr_ns() function, and may cause read-after-free or report nr == 0 in wait_task_continued(). wait_task_zombie() doesn't have this problem, but it is still better to cache pid_t rather than call task_pid_nr_ns() three times on the saved pid_namespace.
