pid_task() dereferences rcu protected tasks array.
But there is no rcu_read_lock() in shutdown_umh() routine so that
rcu_read_lock() is needed.
get_pid_task() is wrapper function of pid_task. it holds rcu_read_lock()
then calls pid_task(). if task isn't NULL, it increases reference count
of task.
test commands:
%modprobe bpfilter
%modprobe -rv bpfilter
splat looks like:
