bpf: Avoid iterating duplicated files for task_file iterator
Currently, task_file iterator iterates all files from all tasks. This may potentially visit a lot of duplicated files if there are many tasks sharing the same files, e.g., typical pthreads where these pthreads and the main thread are sharing the same files. This patch changed task_file iterator to skip a particular task if that task shares the same files as its group_leader (the task having the same tgid and also task->tgid == task->pid). This will preserve the same result, visiting all files from all tasks, and will reduce runtime cost significantl, e.g., if there are a lot of pthreads and the process has a lot of open files.
