[PATCH] dup_fd() part 4 - race fix

Browse Source 
Parent _can_ be a clone task, contrary to the comment.  Moreover,
more files could be opened while we allocate a copy, in which case
we end up copying only part into new descriptor table.  Since what
we get _is_ affected by all changes in the old range, we can get
rather weird effects - e.g.
	dup2(0, 1024); close(0);
in parallel with fork() resulting in child that sees the effect of
close(), but not that of dup2() done just before that close().

What we need is to recalculate the open_count after having reacquired
->file_lock and if external fdtable we'd just allocated is too small for
it, free the sucker and redo allocation.
