[PATCH] sanitize unshare_files/reset_files_struct
* let unshare_files() give caller the displaced files_struct * don't bother with grabbing reference only to drop it in the caller if it hadn't been shared in the first place * in that form unshare_files() is trivially implemented via unshare_fd(), so we eliminate the duplicate logics in fork.c * reset_files_struct() is not just only called for current; it will break the system if somebody ever calls it for anything else (we can't modify ->files of somebody else). Lose the task_struct * argument. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
