get_pid_task() makes no sense, the code does put_task_struct() soon after.
Use find_task_by_pid_ns() instead of find_pid_ns + get_pid_task and kill
kill put_task_struct(), this allows to do get_task_struct() only once
before return.
While at it, kill the unnecessary "if (!pid)" check in the "if (!*tid)"
block, this matches the next usage of find_pid_ns() + get_pid_task() in
this function.

It called get_task_struct() against this task to hold a refcount at the
previous time calling this function. When will it release the refcount?
