oom: __task_cred() need rcu_read_lock()

Browse Source 
dump_tasks() needs to hold the RCU read lock around its access of the
target task's UID.  To this end it should use task_uid() as it only needs
that one thing from the creds.

The fact that dump_tasks() holds tasklist_lock is insufficient to prevent the
target process replacing its credentials on another CPU.

Then, this patch change to call rcu_read_lock() explicitly.

	===================================================
	[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]

	mm/oom_kill.c:410 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!
