bpf/task_iter: In task_file_seq_get_next use task_lookup_next_fd_rcu

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 task_lookup_next_fd_rcu 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 needs 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.
