bpfilter: fix race in pipe access

syzbot reported the following crash

[  338.293946] bpfilter: read fail -512
[  338.304515] kasan: GPF could be caused by NULL-ptr deref or user memory access

This can happen when multiple cpus trying to talk to user mode process via bpfilter_mbox_request(). One cpu grabs the mutex while another goes to sleep on the same mutex. Then former cpu sees that umh pipe is down and shuts down the pipes. Later cpu finally acquires the mutex and crashes on freed pipe.
Fix the race by using info.pid as an indicator that umh and pipes are healthy and check it after acquiring the mutex.

Applied, thanks Alexei.
