[PATCH RFC 1/3] fs: Introduce task path helpers

[Chen Linxuan via B4 Relay]

From: Chen Linxuan <me at black-desk.cn>

Introduce helpers that acquire a referenced struct path for a task's
executable, root, and working directory. Reuse them for procfs task
links and AppArmor executable-path handling instead of duplicating file
and path reference handling at each call site.
