Use the helper fget_task to simplify bpf_task_fd_query. As well as simplifying the code this removes one unnecessary increment of struct files_struct. This unnecessary increment of files_struct.count can result in exec unnecessarily unsharing files_struct and breaking posix locks, and it can result in fget_light having to fallback to fget reducing performance. This simplification comes from the observation that none of the callers of get_files_struct actually need to call get_files_struct that was made when discussing[1] exec and posix file locks.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
