Eric W. Biederman f7bd4eb682 BACKPORT: file: Replace fcheck_files with files_lookup_fd_rcu
This change renames fcheck_files to files_lookup_fd_rcu.  All of the
remaining callers take the rcu_read_lock before calling this function
so the _rcu suffix is appropriate.  This change also tightens up the
debug check to verify that all callers hold the rcu_read_lock.

All callers that used to call files_check with the files->file_lock
held have now been changed to call files_lookup_fd_locked.

This change of name has helped remind me of which locks and which
guarantees are in place helping me to catch bugs later in the
patchset.

The need for better names became apparent in the last round of
discussion of this set of changes[1].

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
