[PATCH 6/6] bpf: task_group_seq_get_next: use __next_thread() rather than next_thread()

[Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>]

Lockless use of next_thread() should be avoided, task_group_seq_get_next()
is the last user, it too can return the group leader twice if it races with
mt-thread exec which changes the group->leader's pid.

Change the main loop to use __next_thread(), kill "next_tid == common->pid"
check.

__next_thread() can't loop forever, so we can also change this code to retry
if next_tid == 0.
