Uninline find_task_by_xxx set of functions
The find_task_by_something is a set of macros are used to find task by pid
depending on what kind of pid is proposed - global or virtual one. All of
them are wrappers above the most generic one - find_task_by_pid_type_ns() -
and just substitute some args for it.
It turned out, that dereferencing the current->nsproxy->pid_ns construction
and pushing one more argument on the stack inline cause kernel text size to
grow.
This patch moves all this stuff out-of-line into kernel/pid.c. Together
with the next patch it saves a bit less than 400 bytes from the .text
section.
