Use the helper fget_task to simplify bpf_task_fd_query. As well as simplifying the code this removes one unnecessary increment of struct files_struct. This unnecessary increment of files_struct.count can result in exec unnecessarily unsharing files_struct and breaking posix locks, and it can result in fget_light having to fallback to fget reducing performance. This simplification comes from the observation that none of the callers of get_files_struct actually need to call get_files_struct that was made when discussing[1] exec and posix file locks.
