ioprio: rcu_read_lock/unlock protect find_task_by_vpid call (V2)

Browse source 
Commit 4221a9918e "Add RCU check for
find_task_by_vpid()" introduced rcu_lockdep_assert to find_task_by_pid_ns=

Assertion failed in sys_ioprio_get. The patch is fixing assertion
failure in ioprio_set as well.

 kernel/pid.c:419 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!

 stack backtrace:
