sched_show_task: fix unsafe usage of ->real_parent
rcu_read_lock() can not protect p->real_parent if release_task(p) was already called, change sched_show_task() to check pis_alive() like other users do. Note: we need some helpers to cleanup the code like this. And it seems that that the usage of cpu_curr(cpu) in dump_cpu_task() is not safe too.
