bpf: Fix a possible task gone issue with bpf_send_signal[_thread]() helpers
In current bpf_send_signal() and bpf_send_signal_thread() helper implementation, irq_work is used to handle nmi context. Hao Sun reported in [1] that the current task at the entry of the helper might be gone during irq_work callback processing. To fix the issue, a reference is acquired for the current task before enqueuing into the irq_work so that the queued task is still available during irq_work callback processing.
