get rid of ...lookup...fdget_rcu() family
Once upon a time, predecessors of those used to do file lookup
without bumping a refcount, provided that caller held rcu_read_lock()
across the lookup and whatever it wanted to read from the struct
file found. When struct file allocation switched to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU,
that stopped being feasible and these primitives started to bump the
file refcount for lookup result, requiring the caller to call fput()
afterwards.
But that turned them pointless - e.g.
rcu_read_lock();
file = lookup_fdget_rcu(fd);
rcu_read_unlock();
is equivalent to
file = fget_raw(fd);
and all callers of lookup_fdget_rcu() are of that form. Similarly,
task_lookup_fdget_rcu() calls can be replaced with calling fget_task().
task_lookup_next_fdget_rcu() doesn't have direct counterparts, but
its callers would be happier if we replaced it with an analogue that
deals with RCU internally.
