pids: sys_getpgid: fix unsafe *pid usage, s/tasklist/rcu/ 

1. sys_getpgid() needs rcu_read_lock() to derive the pgrp _nr, even if
   the task is current, otherwise we can race with another thread which
   does sys_setpgid().

2. Use rcu_read_lock() instead of tasklist_lock when pid != 0, make sure
   that we don't use the NULL pid if the task exits right after successful
   find_task_by_vpid().
