fix: TOCTOU race condition in vTaskListTasks()

Read uxCurrentNumberOfTasks once into uxArraySize and use that local
variable for both the size check and pvPortMalloc() call. The previous
code read the volatile variable twice, allowing a task to be created
between the reads, resulting in an undersized allocation that could
cause a buffer overflow in uxTaskGetSystemState().
