file: Remove get_files_struct
When discussing[1] exec and posix file locks it was realized that none of the callers of get_files_struct fundamentally needed to call get_files_struct, and that by switching them to helper functions instead it will both simplify their code and remove unnecessary increments of files_struct.count. Those unnecessary increments can result in exec unnecessarily unsharing files_struct which breaking posix locks, and it can result in fget_light having to fallback to fget reducing system performance. Now that get_files_struct has no more users and can not cause the problems for posix file locking and fget_light remove get_files_struct so that it does not gain any new users.
