[PATCH net v3 7/8] net/handshake: Verify file-reference balance in submit paths

Chuck Lever cel at kernel.org

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever at oracle.com>

The new file-reference contract on struct handshake_req is silently
breakable: a missing get_file() at submit or a missing fput() on an
error path leaves the file leaked but does not crash the test, so
the existing absence-of-crash checks pass either way.

Snapshot file_count(filp) before each handshake_req_submit() in
the submit-success, EAGAIN, EBUSY, and cancel tests, and assert
the expected balance after submit and again after cancel. The
already-completed cancel test also asserts the post-complete
balance, which pins down that handshake_complete() drops the
reference and that the subsequent cancel does not double-fput.
The destroy test gets the same treatment before __fput_sync(),
which double-checks that cancel's fput() ran and the only
remaining reference is the one sock_alloc_file() established.
