These were used to support the passing of fds between processes
as part of a transaction. The actual allocation and installation
of the fds in the target process was handled by the sending
process so the standard functions, alloc_fd() and fd_install()
which assume task==current couldn't be used.
This patch refactors this mechanism so that the fds are
allocated and installed by the target process allowing the
standard functions to be used.
The sender now creates a list of fd fixups that contains the
struct *file and the address to fixup with the new fd once
it is allocated. This list is processed by the target process
when the transaction is dequeued.
A new error case is introduced by this change. If an async
transaction with file descriptors cannot allocate new
fds in the target (probably due to out of file descriptors),
the transaction is discarded with a log message. In the old
implementation this would have been detected in the sender
context and failed prior to sending.
