sched: Use rcu in sys_sched_getscheduler/sys_sched_getparam()

read_lock(&tasklist_lock) does not protect
sys_sched_getscheduler and sys_sched_getparam() against a
concurrent update of the policy or scheduler parameters as
do_sched_setscheduler() does not take the tasklist_lock. The
accessed integers can be retrieved w/o locking and are snapshots
anyway.

Using rcu_read_lock() to protect find_task_by_vpid() and prevent
the task struct from going away is not changing the above
situation.
