Subject: [PATCH v2 13/24] kcmp: In get_file_raw_ptr use task_lookup_fd_rcu

Modify get_file_raw_ptr to use task_lookup_fd_rcu.  The helper
task_lookup_fd_rcu does the work of taking the task lock and verifying
that task->files != NULL and then calls files_lookup_fd_rcu.  So let
use the helper to make a simpler implementation of get_file_raw_ptr.
