posix-cpu-timers: Rcu_read_lock/unlock protect find_task_by_vpid call

Commit 4221a991 "Add RCU check for
find_task_by_vpid()" introduced rcu_lockdep_assert to find_task_by_pid_ns.
Add rcu_read_lock/rcu_read_unlock to call find_task_by_vpid.

|| Usually tasklist gives enough protection, but if copy_process() fails
|| it calls free_pid() lockless and does call_rcu(delayed_put_pid().
|| This means, without rcu lock find_pid_ns() can't scan the hash table
|| safely.

Patch also replaces thread_group_leader with has_group_leader_pid
in accordance to comment by Oleg Nesterov:

| ... thread_group_leader() check is not relaible without 
| tasklist. If we race with de_thread() find_task_by_vpid() can find
| the new leader before it updates its ->group_leader.

| has_group_leader_pid() instead, just to make this code not look racy
| and avoid adding new problems.
