Pull fd prepare updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This adds the FD_ADD() and FD_PREPARE() primitive. They simplify the
  common pattern of get_unused_fd_flags() + create file + fd_install()
  that is used extensively throughout the kernel and currently requires
  cumbersome cleanup paths.

  FD_ADD() - For simple cases where a file is installed immediately:

      fd = FD_ADD(O_CLOEXEC, vfio_device_open_file(device));
      if (fd < 0)
          vfio_device_put_registration(device);
      return fd;

  FD_PREPARE() - For cases requiring access to the fd or file, or
  additional work before publishing:

      FD_PREPARE(fdf, O_CLOEXEC, sync_file->file);
      if (fdf.err) {
          fput(sync_file->file);
          return fdf.err;
      }

      data.fence = fd_prepare_fd(fdf);
      if (copy_to_user((void __user *)arg, &data, sizeof(data)))
          return -EFAULT;

      return fd_publish(fdf);

  The primitives are centered around struct fd_prepare. FD_PREPARE()
  encapsulates all allocation and cleanup logic and must be followed by
  a call to fd_publish() which associates the fd with the file and
  installs it into the caller's fdtable. If fd_publish() isn't called,
  both are deallocated automatically. FD_ADD() is a shorthand that does
  fd_publish() immediately and never exposes the struct to the caller.

  I've implemented this in a way that it's compatible with the cleanup
  infrastructure while also being usable separately. IOW, it's centered
  around struct fd_prepare which is aliased to class_fd_prepare_t and so
  we can make use of all the basica guard infrastructure"
