Yama: Check for pid death before checking ancestry

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1818797

commit 9474f4e7 upstream.

It's possible that a pid has died before we take the rcu lock, in which
case we can't walk the ancestry list as it may be detached. Instead, check
for death first before doing the walk.
