bpf: introduce bpf_get_current_task() helper
over time there were multiple requests to access different data structures and fields of task_struct current, so finally add the helper to access 'current' as-is. Tracing bpf programs will do the rest of walking the pointers via bpf_probe_read(). Note that current can be null and bpf program has to deal it with, but even dumb passing null into bpf_probe_read() is still safe.
