Dipankar Sarma ca99c1da08 [PATCH] Fix file lookup without ref
There are places in the kernel where we look up files in fd tables and
access the file structure without holding refereces to the file.  So, we
need special care to avoid the race between looking up files in the fd
table and tearing down of the file in another CPU.  Otherwise, one might
see a NULL f_dentry or such torn down version of the file.  This patch
fixes those special places where such a race may happen.
