[PATCH] Revert "bpf: remove unnecessary rcu_read_{lock,unlock}() in multi-uprobe attach logic"

From: Di Shen <di.shen@xxxxxxxxxx>

This reverts commit 4a8f635a60540888dab3804992e86410360339c8.

Althought get_pid_task() internally already calls rcu_read_lock() and
rcu_read_unlock(), the find_vpid() was not.

The documentation for find_vpid() clearly states:

"Must be called with the tasklist_lock or rcu_read_lock() held."

Add proper rcu_read_lock/unlock() to protect the find_vpid().
