signal: Don't send signals to tasks that don't exist
Recently syzbot reported crashes in send_sigio_to_task and send_sigurg_to_task in linux-next. Despite finding a reproducer syzbot apparently did not bisected this or otherwise track down the offending commit in linux-next. I happened to see this report and examined the code because I had recently changed these functions as part of making PIDTYPE_TGID a real pid type so that fork would does not need to restart when receiving a signal. By examination I see that I spotted a bug in the code that could explain the reported crashes. When I took Oleg's suggestion and optimized send_sigurg and send_sigio to only send to a single task when type is PIDTYPE_PID or PIDTYPE_TGID I failed to handle pids that no longer point to tasks. The macro do_each_pid_task simply iterates for zero iterations. With pid_task an explicit NULL test is needed. Update the code to include the missing NULL test.
