alloc_fdtable(): change calling conventions.
First of all, tell it how many slots do we want, not which slot
is wanted. It makes one caller (dup_fd()) more straightforward
and doesn't harm another (expand_fdtable()).
Furthermore, make it return ERR_PTR() on failure rather than
returning NULL. Simplifies the callers.
Simplify the size calculation, while we are at it - note that we
always have slots_wanted greater than BITS_PER_LONG. What the
rules boil down to is
* use the smallest power of two large enough to give us
that many slots
* on 32bit skip 64 and 128 - the minimal capacity we want
there is 256 slots (i.e. 1Kb fd array).
* on 64bit don't skip anything, the minimal capacity is
128 - and we'll never be asked for 64 or less. 128 slots means
1Kb fd array, again.
* on 128bit, if that ever happens, don't skip anything -
we'll never be asked for 128 or less, so the fd array allocation
will be at least 2Kb.
