This function will check all task queues for a task with the given name, and return a pointer to its task control block. If a nil name pointer is given a pointer to the current task will be returned.
Finding oneself with a nil for the name is very quick. Finding a task by name is very system expensive, and will disable interrupts for a long time. Since a task may remove itself at any time, a Forbid()/Permit() pair may be needed to ensure the pointer returned by FindTask() is still valid when used.
