net: bpfilter: use get_pid_task instead of pid_task

pid_task() dereferences rcu protected tasks array.
But there is no rcu_read_lock() in shutdown_umh() routine so that
rcu_read_lock() is needed.
get_pid_task() is wrapper function of pid_task. it holds rcu_read_lock()
then calls pid_task(). if task isn't NULL, it increases reference count
of task.

test commands:
   %modprobe bpfilter
   %modprobe -rv bpfilter

splat looks like:
