The sock counting (sock_update_netprioidx() and sock_update_classid()) was
missing from pidfd's implementation of received fd installation. Replace
the open-coded version with a call to the new fd_install_received()
helper.

Fixes: 8649c322f75c ("pid: Implement pidfd_getfd syscall")

So someone just sent a fix for pidfd_getfd() that was based on the
changes done here.

I've been on vacation so didn't have a change to review this series and
I see it's already in linux-next. This introduces a memory leak and
actually proves a point I tried to stress when adding this helper:
fd_install_received() in contrast to fd_install() does _not_ consume a
reference because it takes one before it calls into fd_install(). That
means, you need an unconditional fput() here both in the failure and
error path.
I strongly suggest though that we simply align the behavior between
fd_install() and fd_install_received() and have the latter simply
consume a reference when it succeeds! Imho, this bug proves that I was
right to insist on this before. ;)

Thanks!
Christian

Er, what? (I had a typo in my quote: s/pidfs/pidfd/.) I was trying to
say that this was just a mistake in my refactoring of the pidfd usage of
the new helper.

Agreed, "radical" was too strong.

But my point stands: I really dislike this; suddenly the caller needs to
manage this when it should be an entirely internal detail to the
function. It was only pidfd doing it wrong, and that was entirely my
fault in the conversion.

I will rename the helper and add explicit documentation, but I really
don't think callers should have to deal with managing the helper's split
ref lifetime.
