[PATCH 2/2] change close_files() to use rcu_lock_acquire() to shutup RCU-lockdep

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Tue Jan 07 2014 - 13:14:00 EST


put_files_struct() and close_files() do rcu_read_lock() to make
rcu_dereference_check_fdtable() happy.

We can use rcu_lock_acquire(&rcu_lock_map) instead, this looks
self-explanatory and this is nop without CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC().

While at it, change close_files() to return fdt, this avoids another
rcu_read_lock() + files_fdtable() in put_files_struct().
