To make it easy to tell where files->file_lock protection is being used when looking up a file create files_lookup_fd_locked. Only allow this function to be called with the file_lock held. Update the callers of fcheck and fcheck_files that are called with the files->file_lock held to call files_lookup_fd_locked instead. Hopefully this makes it easier to quickly understand what is going on. The need for better names became apparent in the last round of discussion of this set of changes[1].

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
