find_task_by_vpid() says "Must be called under rcu_read_lock().". But due to
commit 3120438 "rcu: Disable lockdep checking in RCU list-traversal primitives",
we are currently unable to catch "find_task_by_vpid() with tasklist_lock held
but RCU lock not held" errors.

  ===================================================
  [ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
  ---------------------------------------------------
  kernel/pid.c:386 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!
  
  other info that might help us debug this:
  
  
  rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
  1 lock held by rc.sysinit/1102:
   #0:  (tasklist_lock){.+.+..}, at: [<c1048340>] sys_setpgid+0x40/0x160
  
  stack backtrace:
  Pid: 1102, comm: rc.sysinit Not tainted 2.6.35-rc3-dirty #1
  Call Trace:
