Subject: [PATCH 5.8 096/186] fix regression in "epoll: Keep a reference on files added to the check list"

From: Al Viro <viro@...iv.linux.org.uk>

[ Upstream commit 77f4689de17c0887775bb77896f4cc11a39bf848 ]

epoll_loop_check_proc() can run into a file already committed to destruction;
we can't grab a reference on those and don't need to add them to the set for
reverse path check anyway.
