[PATCH] get_files_struct

[Russell King <rmk+lkml@arm.linux.org.uk>]

Cleanup the 4 duplicate "get_files_struct" implementations into one
get_files_struct() function to compliment put_files_struct().

I'm not particularly bothered about this patch; it builds and works
for me, though I don't have a particular reason to keep it around.

It may be useful for the -tiny tree.

Whatever, if someone thinks its useful...
