This introduces a function which can be used to fetch a file, given an
arbitrary task. As long as the user holds a reference (refcnt) to the
task_struct it is safe to call, and will either return NULL on failure,
or a pointer to the file, with a refcnt.

Nit: remove the \n:

task_lock(task);
if (task->files)
	file = __fget_files(task->files, fd, 0, 1);
task_unlock(task);

Could you please add:

Suggested-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

and add a line like:
