If a single-threaded process does a file-descriptor operation, and some
other process accesses that same file descriptor via /proc, the current
rcu_dereference_check_fdtable() can give a false-positive RCU-lockdep
splat due to the reference count being increased by the /proc access after
the reference-count check in fget_light() but before the check in
rcu_dereference_check_fdtable().
This commit prevents this false positive by checking for a single-threaded
process. To avoid #include hell, this commit uses the wrapper for
thread_group_empty(current) defined by rcu_my_thread_group_empty()
provided in a separate commit.

Impact: cleanup
We want to remove percpu.h from rcupdate.h (for upcoming kmemtrace
changes), but this is not possible currently without breaking the
build because fdtable.h has an implicit include file dependency: it
uses __init does not include init.h.
This can cause build failures on non-x86 architectures:
/home/mingo/tip/include/linux/fdtable.h:66: error: expected '=', ',',
';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'files_defer_init'
make[2]: *** [fs/locks.o] Error 1
We got this header included indirectly via rcupdate.h's percpu.h
inclusion - but if that is not there the build will break.
Fix it.

Instead of creating the "filp" kmem_cache in vfs_caches_init(),
we can do it a litle be later in files_init(), so that filp_cachep
is static to fs/file_table.c
