proc/fd: In proc_fd_link use fget_task
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.
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.
