Re: [PATCH v6 3/7] fs: Add receive_fd() wrapper for __receive_fd()

For both pidfd and seccomp, the __user pointer is not used. Update __receive_fd() to make writing to ufd optional via a NULL check. However, for the receive_fd_user() wrapper, ufd is NULL checked so an -EFAULT can be returned to avoid changing the SCM_RIGHTS interface behavior. Add new wrapper receive_fd() for pidfd and seccomp that does not use the ufd argument. For the new helper, the allocated fd needs to be returned on success. Update the existing callers to handle it.

Oh here we go, I'll take the last comment back.
