[PATCH v2 3/5] signal: use fdget() since we don't allow O_PATH

[Christian Brauner]

As stated in the original commit for pidfd_send_signal() we don't allow to
signal processes through O_PATH file descriptors since it is semantically
equivalent to a write on the pidfd. We already correctly error out right
now and return EBADF if an O_PATH fd is passed. This is because we use
file->f_op to detect whether a pidfd is passed and O_PATH fds have their
file->f_op set to empty_fops in do_dentry_open() and thus fail the test.
Thus, there is no regression. It's just semantically correct to use fdget()
and return an error right from there instead of taking a reference and
returning an error later.
