Sanitizing files_struct handling (all internals taken from file.h
to fdtable.h, which is pulled by few files that need it, a bunch of places
in arch/* switched to saner ways of doing things that do not need to know
about low-level stuff, perfmon abuses of files_struct fixed along with
a huge pile of races). Sanitized anon_inode_getfd() - the API had been
inherently racy. Dealt with the fallout of making OPEN_NR a sysctl.
