proc: fix null pointer deref in proc_pid_permission()

get_proc_task() can fail to search the task and return NULL,
put_task_struct() will then bomb the kernel with following oops:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000010
  IP: [<ffffffff81217d34>] proc_pid_permission+0x64/0xe0
  PGD 112075067 PUD 112814067 PMD 0
  Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

This is a regression introduced by commit 0499680a ("procfs: add hidepid=
and gid= mount options").  The kernel should return -ESRCH if
get_proc_task() failed.
