fs: convert process/thread iterators to for_each_*_rculock
    
Replace the manual rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs combined
with for_each_process() and for_each_process_thread() loops in fs/
with the for_each_*_rculock() macros, which scope the RCU read lock
to the loop body via scoped_guard(rcu).

[Severity: Low]
Does introducing for_each_process_rculock() here violate the rule against
mixing scope-based cleanup and goto error handling in the same function?

This macro expands to scoped_guard(rcu), introducing scope-based cleanup into
__set_oom_adj(). However, this function already uses manual goto-based error
handling:

fs/proc/base.c:__set_oom_adj() {
    ...
		if (oom_adj < task->signal->oom_score_adj &&
				!capable(CAP_SYS_RESOURCE)) {
			err = -EACCES;
			goto err_unlock;
		}
    ...
err_unlock:
	mutex_unlock(&oom_adj_mutex);
	put_task_struct(task);
	return err;
}

The subsystem guidelines require converting all resources in a function to
scope-based cleanup, or none at all, explicitly prohibiting mixing both in the
same function.
