ioprio: fix RCU locking around task dereference 

With 2.6.37-rc1, I observe sys_ioprio_set not taking the RCU lock [1]
across access to the task credentials.

Inspecting the code in fs/ioprio.c, the tasklist_lock is held for read
across the __task_cred call, which is presumably sufficient to prevent
the task credentials becoming stale.

===================================================

[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]

---------------------------------------------------

kernel/pid.c:419 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 start-stop-daem/2246:

 #0:  (tasklist_lock){.?.?..}, at: [<ffffffff811a2dfa>]
sys_ioprio_set+0x8a/0x400

stack backtrace:

Pid: 2246, comm: start-stop-daem Not tainted 2.6.37-rc1-330cd+ #2

Take the RCU lock for read across acquiring the pointer to the task
credentials and dereferencing it.

Fixed up by Jens to fix missing rcu_read_unlock() on mismatches.
