[PATCH 4.14 32/65] fix regression in "epoll: Keep a reference on files added to the check list"

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Sep 08 2020 - 13:59:54 EST

[ Upstream commit 77f4689de17c0887775bb77896f4cc11a39bf848 ]

epoll_loop_check_proc() can run into a file already committed to destruction;
we can't grab a reference on those and don't need to add them to the set for
reverse path check anyway.
