Infinite loop in get_file_rcu() in face of a saturated ref count

[Mateusz Guzik]

__get_file_rcu() bails early:

        if (unlikely(!file_ref_get(&file->f_ref)))
                return ERR_PTR(-EAGAIN);

But get_file_rcu():
       for (;;) {
                struct file __rcu *file;

                file = __get_file_rcu(f);
                if (!IS_ERR(file))
                        return file;
        }

So if this encounters a saturated refcount, the loop with never end.

I don't know what makes the most sense to do here and I'm no position
to mess with any patches.

This is not a serious problem either, so I would put this on the back
burner. Just reporting for interested.
