fs: WARN when f_count resurrection is attempted
It should never happen that get_file() is called on a file with
f_count equal to zero. If this happens, a use-after-free condition
has happened[1], and we need to attempt a best-effort reporting of
the situation to help find the root cause more easily. Additionally,
this serves as a data corruption indicator that system owners using
warn_limit or panic_on_warn would like to have detected.
