Thanks for working on this!
But it needs more homework.

We stopped adding helpers long ago.
They need to be kfuncs.

by vpid ?
tracing bpf prog will have "random" current and "random" pidns.
Should it be find_get_task vs find_task too ?
Should kfunc take 'task' parameter instead
received from bpf_task_from_pid() ?
two kfuncs for pid/tgid is overkill. Combine into one?
