Subject: wait_task_continued/zombie: don't use task_pid_nr_ns() lockless
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>

Surprise, other 2 wait_task_() functions also abuse task_pid_nr_ns().  May
cause read-after-free or report nr == 0 in wait_task_continued(). 
wait_task_zombie() doesn't have this problem, but still it is better to cache
pid_t rather than call task_pid_nr_ns() 3 times on the saved pid_namespace.
