How about like the following?  If this is agreeable, I will re-send the
patch stack with this included.

vfs: abstract rcu_dereference_check for files-fdtable use

Create an rcu_dereference_check_fdtable() that encapsulates the
rcu_dereference_check() condition for fcheck_files() use.  This has
the beneficial side-effect of getting rid of a very long line.
