bpf: Fix bpf_iter's task iterator logic
task_seq_get_next might stop prematurely if get_pid_task() fails to get task_struct. Failure to do so doesn't mean that there are no more tasks with higher pids. Procfs's iteration algorithm (see next_tgid in fs/proc/base.c) does a retry in such case. After this fix, instead of stopping prematurely after about 300 tasks on my server, bpf_iter program now returns >4000, which sounds much closer to reality.
