fs: use acquire ordering in __fget_light()
We must prevent the CPU from reordering the files->count read with the
FD table access like this, on architectures where read-read reordering is
possible:
files_lookup_fd_raw()
close_fd()
put_files_struct()
atomic_read(&files->count)
I would like to mark this for stable, but the stable rules explicitly say
"no theoretical races", and given that the FD table pointer and
files->count are explicitly stored in the same cacheline, this sort of
reordering seems quite unlikely in practice...
