From: Ye Liu <liuye@kylinos.cn>

Replace the manual rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs wrapping
for_each_process()/for_each_thread() loops with for_each_process_rculock()
and for_each_thread_rculock(), which scope the RCU read lock to the
loop body via scoped_guard(rcu).

No functional change.
