proc/fd: In tid_fd_mode use task_lookup_fd_rcu
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.
