fs/proc/array.c: make safe access to group_leader


As mentioned in commit 52ee2dfd
("pids: refactor vnr/nr_ns helpers to make them safe"). *_nr_ns
helpers used to be buggy. The commit addresses most of the helpers but
is missing task_tgid_xxx()

Without this protection there is a possible use after free reported by
kasan instrumented kernel:

==================================================================
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in task_tgid_nr_ns+0x2c/0x44 at addr ***

Accessing group_leader while holding rcu_lock and using the now safe
helpers introduced in the commit mentioned, this race condition is
addressed.
