In preparation for users of the "install a received file" logic outside of net/ (pidfd and seccomp), relocate and rename __scm_install_fd() from net/core/scm.c to __fd_install_received() in fs/file.c, and provide a wrapper named fd_install_received_user(), as future patches will change the interface to __fd_install_received().

Any reason for the leading __ ??

Mainly because of the code pattern of only using the inline helpers to call it.
