The documentation for find_pid() clearly states: "Must be called with the tasklist_lock or rcu_read_lock() held." Presently we do neither. Let's use find_get_pid() which searches for the vpid, then takes a reference to it preventing early free, all within the safety of rcu_read_lock(). Once we have our reference we can safely make use of it up until the point it is put.
