fs: consistently deref the files table with rcu_dereference_raw()
... except when the table is known to be only used by one thread. A file pointer can get installed at any moment despite the ->file_lock being held since the following: 8a81252b774b53e6 ("fs/file.c: don't acquire files->file_lock in fd_install()") Accesses subject to such a race can in principle suffer load tearing. While here redo the comment in dup_fd -- it only covered a race against files showing up, still assuming fd_install() takes the lock.
