I still fail to see what this whole put_user() handling buys us at all
and why this function needs to be anymore complicated then simply:

fd_install_received(int fd, struct file *file)
{
	security_file_receive(file);
 
 	sock = sock_from_file(fd, &err);
 	if (sock) {
 		sock_update_netprioidx(&sock->sk->sk_cgrp_data);
 		sock_update_classid(&sock->sk->sk_cgrp_data);
 	}

	fd_install();
	return;
}

exactly like fd_install() but for received files.

For scm you can fail somewhere in the middle of putting any number of
file descriptors so you're left in a state with only a subset of
requested file descriptors installed so it's not really useful there.
And if you manage to install an fd but then fail to put_user() it
userspace can simply check it's fds via proc and has to anyway on any
scm message error. If you fail an scm message userspace better check
their fds.
For seccomp maybe but even there I doubt it and I still maintain that
userspace screwing this up is on them which is how we do this most of
the time. And for pidfd_getfd() this whole put_user() thing doesn't
matter at all.

It's much easier and clearer if we simply have a fd_install() -
fd_install_received() parallelism where we follow an established
convention. _But_ if that blocks you from making this generic enough
then at least the replace_fd() vs fd_install() logic seems it shouldn't
be in there. 

And the function name really needs to drive home the point that it
installs an fd into the tasks fdtable no matter what version you go
with. file_receive() is really not accurate enough for this at all.
