    Unify the primitives for file descriptor closing · 6319194e

    Currently we have 3 primitives for removing an opened file from descriptor
    table - pick_file(), __close_fd_get_file() and close_fd_get_file().  Their
    calling conventions are rather odd and there's a code duplication for no
    good reason.  They can be unified -
    
    1) have __range_close() cap max_fd in the very beginning; that way
    we don't need separate way for pick_file() to report being past the end
    of descriptor table.
    
    2) make {__,}close_fd_get_file() return file (or NULL) directly, rather
    than returning it via struct file ** argument.  Don't bother with
    (bogus) return value - nobody wants that -ENOENT.
    
    3) make pick_file() return NULL on unopened descriptor - the only caller
    that used to care about the distinction between descriptor past the end
    of descriptor table and finding NULL in descriptor table doesn't give
    a damn after (1).
    
    4) lift ->files_lock out of pick_file()
    
    That actually simplifies the callers, as well as the primitives themselves.
    Code duplication is also gone...
