pidns: remove find_task_by_pid, unused for a long time

It seems to me that it was a mistake marking this function as deprecated
and scheduling it for removal, rather than resolutely removing it after
the last caller's death.

Anyway - better late, then never.

-What:   find_task_by_pid
-When:   2.6.26
-Why:    With pid namespaces, calling this funciton will return the
-        wrong task when called from inside a namespace.
-
-        The best way to save a task pid and find a task by this
-        pid later, is to find this task's struct pid pointer (or get
-        it directly from the task) and call pid_task() later.
-
-        If someone really needs to get a task by its pid_t, then
-        he most likely needs the find_task_by_vpid() to get the
-        task from the same namespace as the current task is in, but
-        this may be not so in general.
