ptrace_get_task_struct: s/tasklist/rcu/, make it static

Browse Source 
- Use rcu_read_lock() instead of tasklist_lock to find/get the task
  in ptrace_get_task_struct().

- Make it static, it has no callers outside of ptrace.c.

- The comment doesn't match the reality, this helper does not do
  any checks. Beacuse it is really trivial and static I removed the
  whole comment.
