oom: __task_cred() need rcu_read_lock()

From: KOSAKI Motohiro

dump_tasks() can call __task_cred() safely because we are holding
tasklist_lock. but rcu lock validator don't have enough knowledge and
it makes following annoying warning.

Then, this patch change to call rcu_read_lock() explicitly.


===================================================
[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
---------------------------------------------------
mm/oom_kill.c:410 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!

other info that might help us debug this:

rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
4 locks held by kworker/1:2/651:
#0: (events){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff8106aae7>]
