Thomas Gleixner 86fc80f16e capabilities: Use RCU to protect task lookup in sys_capget
cap_get_target_pid() protects the task lookup with tasklist_lock.
security_capget() is called under tasklist_lock as well but
tasklist_lock does not protect anything there. The capabilities are
protected by RCU already.

So tasklist_lock only protects the lookup and prevents the task going
away, which can be done with rcu_read_lock() as well.
