pids: clean up find_task_by_pid variants

Browse source 
find_task_by_pid_type_ns is only used to implement find_task_by_vpid and
find_task_by_pid_ns, but both of them pass PIDTYPE_PID as first argument.
So just fold find_task_by_pid_type_ns into find_task_by_pid_ns and use
find_task_by_pid_ns to implement find_task_by_vpid.

While we're at it also remove the exports for find_task_by_pid_ns and
find_task_by_vpid - we don't have any modular callers left as the only
modular caller of he old pre pid namespace find_task_by_pid (gfs2) was
switched to pid_task which operates on a struct pid pointer instead of a
pid_t.  Given the confusion about pid_t values vs namespace that's
generally the better option anyway and I think we're better of restricting
modules to do it that way.
