[PATCH v2 11/19] vfs, fdtable: prevent bounds-check bypass via speculative execution

[Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>]

Expectedly, static analysis reports that 'fd' is a user controlled value
that is used as a data dependency to read from the 'fdt->fd' array.  In
order to avoid potential leaks of kernel memory values, block
speculative execution of the instruction stream that could issue reads
based on an invalid 'file *' returned from __fcheck_files.

Based on an original patch by Elena Reshetova.
