Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] pid: Use file_receive helper to copy FDs

The code to copy file descriptors was duplicated in pidfd_getfd.
Rather than continue to duplicate it, this hoists the code out of
kernel/pid.c and uses the newly added file_receive helper.

Earlier, when this was implemented there was some back-and-forth
about how the semantics should work around copying around file
descriptors [1], and it was decided that the default behaviour
should be to not modify cgroup data. As a matter of least surprise,
this approach follows the default semantics as presented by SCM_RIGHTS.

In the future, a flag can be added to avoid manipulating the cgroup
data on copy.
