5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Christian Brauner brauner@kernel.org
commit 6ae930d9dbf2d093157be33428538c91966d8a9f upstream.
Add a new helper that allows to reserve a pidfd and allocates a new pidfd file that stashes the provided struct pid. This will allow us to remove places that either open code this function or that call pidfd_create() but then have to call close_fd() because there are still failure points after pidfd_create() has been called.
