[ Upstream commit 64eb661fda0269276b4c46965832938e3f268268 ]
When discussing[1] exec and posix file locks it was realized that none
of the callers of get_files_struct fundamentally needed to call
get_files_struct, and that by switching them to helper functions
instead it will both simplify their code and remove unnecessary
increments of files_struct.count. Those unnecessary increments can
result in exec unnecessarily unsharing files_struct which breaking
posix locks, and it can result in fget_light having to fallback to
fget reducing system performance.
Instead of manually coding finding the files struct for a task and
then calling files_lookup_fd_rcu, use the helper task_lookup_fd_rcu
that combines those to steps. Making the code simpler and removing
the need to get a reference on a files_struct.

This change renames fcheck_files to files_lookup_fd_rcu. All of the
remaining callers take the rcu_read_lock before calling this function
so the _rcu suffix is appropriate. This change also tightens up the
debug check to verify that all callers hold the rcu_read_lock.
All callers that used to call files_check with the files->file_lock
held have now been changed to call files_lookup_fd_locked.
This change of name has helped remind me of which locks and which
guarantees are in place helping me to catch bugs later in the
patchset.
The need for better names became apparent in the last round of
discussion of this set of changes[1].

To make it easy to tell where files->file_lock protection is being
used when looking up a file create files_lookup_fd_locked. Only allow
this function to be called with the file_lock held.
Update the callers of fcheck and fcheck_files that are called with the
files->file_lock held to call files_lookup_fd_locked instead.
Hopefully this makes it easier to quickly understand what is going on.

When discussing[1] exec and posix file locks it was realized that none
of the callers of get_files_struct fundamentally needed to call
get_files_struct, and that by switching them to helper functions
instead it will both simplify their code and remove unnecessary
increments of files_struct.count. Those unnecessary increments can

fget reducing system performance.
Simplifying proc_fd_link is a little bit tricky. It is necessary to
know that there is a reference to fd_f ile while path_get is running.
This reference can either be guaranteed to exist either by locking the
fdtable as the code currently does or by taking a reference on the
file in question.
Use fget_task to remove the need for get_files_struct and
to take a reference to file in question.
