ioprio: fix RCU locking around task dereference
With 2.6.37-rc1, I observe sys_ioprio_set not taking the RCU lock [1]
across access to the task credentials.
Inspecting the code in fs/ioprio.c, the tasklist_lock is held for read
across the __task_cred call, which is presumably sufficient to prevent
the task credentials becoming stale.
===================================================
[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
---------------------------------------------------
kernel/pid.c:419 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!
other info that might help us debug this:
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
1 lock held by start-stop-daem/2246:
#0: (tasklist_lock){.?.?..}, at: [<ffffffff811a2dfa>]
sys_ioprio_set+0x8a/0x400
stack backtrace:
Pid: 2246, comm: start-stop-daem Not tainted 2.6.37-rc1-330cd+ #2

Take the RCU lock for read across acquiring the pointer to the task
credentials and dereferencing it.

Fixed up by Jens to fix missing rcu_read_unlock() on mismatches.
