[PATCH 03/13] spufs: check for proper file pointer in sys_spu_run

[Arnd Bergmann]

Only checking for SPUFS_MAGIC is not reliable, because
it might not be unique in theory. Worse than that,
we accidentally allow spu_run to be performed on
any file in spufs, not just those returned from
spu_create as intended.

Noticed by Al Viro.
