Well yes, fdget() makes sense but this is minor.

Honestly, I do not really like the new helper... I understand this
is subjective, so I won't insist. But how about 1/1? We do not need
fd/file at all. With this patch your sys_getvpid() can just use
proc_get_ns_by_fd(fd, CLONE_NEWPID) and put_pid_ns().

Eric, what do you think?
