proc/fd: In fdinfo seq_show don't use get_files_struct
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 hold task_lock for the duration that task->files needs to be stable in seq_show. The task_lock was already taken in get_files_struct, and so skipping get_files_struct performs less work overall, and avoids the problems with the files_struct reference count.
