pids: sys_getsid: fix unsafe *pid usage, fix possible 0 instead of -E…

…SRCH

1. sys_getsid() needs rcu_read_lock() to derive the session _nr, even if
   the task is current, otherwise we can race with another thread which
   does sys_setsid().

2. The task can exit between find_task_by_vpid() and task_session_vnr(),
   in that unlikely case sys_getsid() returns 0 instead of -ESRCH.
