Subject[patch 4/4] sched: Use rcu in sched_get_rr_param
read_lock(&tasklist_lock) does not protect sys_sched_get_rr_param()
against a concurrent update of the policy or scheduler parameters as
do_sched_scheduler() does not take the tasklist_lock.

The access to task->sched_class->get_rr_interval is protected by
task_rq_lock(task).

Use rcu_read_lock() to protect find_task_by_vpid() and prevent the
task struct from going away.
