dump_tasks() can call __task_cred() safely because we are holding
tasklist_lock. but rcu lock validator don't have enough knowledge and
it makes following annoying warning.

Then, this patch change to call rcu_read_lock() explicitly.


	===================================================
	[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
	---------------------------------------------------
	mm/oom_kill.c:410 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!

	other info that might help us debug this:

	rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
	4 locks held by kworker/1:2/651:
