    pids: clean up find_task_by_pid variants
    
    find_task_by_pid_type_ns is only used to implement find_task_by_vpid and
    find_task_by_pid_ns, but both of them pass PIDTYPE_PID as first argument.
    So just fold find_task_by_pid_type_ns into find_task_by_pid_ns and use
    find_task_by_pid_ns to implement find_task_by_vpid.
    
    While we're at it also remove the exports for find_task_by_pid_ns and
    find_task_by_vpid - we don't have any modular callers left as the only
    modular caller of he old pre pid namespace find_task_by_pid (gfs2) was
    switched to pid_task which operates on a struct pid pointer instead of a
    pid_t.  Given the confusion about pid_t values vs namespace that's
    generally the better option anyway and I think we're better of restricting
    modules to do it that way.
