signal: use fdget() since we don't allow O_PATH
As stated in the original commit for pidfd_send_signal() we don't allow to signal processes through O_PATH file descriptors since it is semantically equivalent to a write on the pidfd. We already correctly error out right now and return EBADF if an O_PATH fd is passed. This is because we use file->f_op to detect whether a pidfd is passed and O_PATH fds have their file->f_op set to empty_fops in do_dentry_open() and thus fail the test. Thus, there is no regression. It's just semantically correct to use fdget() and return an error right from there instead of taking a reference and returning an error later.
