sched: Use rcu in sched_get/set_affinity()
tasklist_lock is held read locked to protect the
find_task_by_vpid() call and to prevent the task going away.
sched_setaffinity acquires a task struct ref and drops tasklist
lock right away. The access to the cpus_allowed mask is
protected by rq->lock.
rcu_read_lock() provides the same protection here.
