Wrap the vcpu->pid dereference in the debugfs hook vcpu_get_pid() with proper RCU read (un)lock. Unlike the code in kvm_vcpu_ioctl(), vcpu_get_pid() is not a simple access; the pid pointer is passed to pid_nr() and fully dereferenced if the pointer is non-NULL. Failure to acquire RCU could result in use-after-free of the old pid if a different task invokes KVM_RUN and puts the last reference to the old vcpu->pid between vcpu_get_pid() reading the pointer and dereferencing it in pid_nr().
