powerpc/spufs: Rework fcheck() usage
Currently the spu coredump code triggers an RCU warning:
=============================
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
5.7.0-rc3-01755-g7cd49f0b7ec7 #1 Not tainted
-----------------------------
include/linux/fdtable.h:95 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
other info that might help us debug this:
rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
1 lock held by spu-coredump/1343:

This comes from fcheck_files() via fcheck().
It's pretty clearly documented that fcheck() must be wrapped with
rcu_read_lock(), adding that fixes the RCU warning.
hch points out that once we've released the RCU read lock the file may
be closed and freed, which would leave us with a pointer to a freed
spu_context.
To avoid that, take a reference to the spu_context while we hold the
RCU read lock, and drop that reference later once we're done with the
context.
