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.
Using fnext_task simplifies task_file_seq_get_next, by moving the checking for the maximum file descritor into the generic code, and by remvoing the need for capturing and releasing a reference on files_struct. As the reference count of files_struct no longer needs to be maintained bpf_iter_seq_task_file_info can have it's files member removed and task_file_seq_get_next no longer it's fstruct argument. The curr_fd local variable does need to become unsigned to be used with fnext_task. As curr_fd is assigned from and assigned a u32 making curr_fd an unsigned int won't cause problems and might prevent them.
