bpf: Fix a possible task gone issue with bpf_send_signal[_thread]() helpers

In current bpf_send_signal() and bpf_send_signal_thread() helper
implementation, irq_work is used to handle nmi context. Hao Sun
reported in [1] that the current task at the entry of the helper
might be gone during irq_work callback processing. To fix the issue,
a reference is acquired for the current task before enqueuing into
the irq_work so that the queued task is still available during
irq_work callback processing.
