[PATCH] vfs repost: fix RCU-lockdep false positive due to /proc access

["Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

If a single-threaded process does a file-descriptor operation, and
some other process accesses that same file descriptor via /proc,
the current rcu_dereference_check_fdtable() can give a false-positive
RCU-lockdep splat due to the reference count being increased by the
/proc access after the reference-count check in fget_light() but before
the check in rcu_dereference_check_fdtable().

This commit prevents this false positive by checking for a single-threaded
process.  To avoid #include hell, this commit uses the wrapper for
thread_group_empty(current) defined by rcu_my_thread_group_empty()
provided in a separate commit.
