fanotify: allow reporting pidfds for reaped tasks
Fanotify used to refuse to report pidfds for reaped tasks by applying a pid_has_task() check before calling pidfd_prepare(). This prevented userspace from obtaining information about the task. Register the event pid with pidfs when creating the fanotify event if pidfd reporting was requested, so pidfd_prepare() can later create a pidfd for the reaped task.
