Simplify the code, and remove the chance of races by reading RLIMIT_NOFILE only once in f_dupfd. Pass the read value of RLIMIT_NOFILE into alloc_fd which is the other location the rlimit was read in f_dupfd. As f_dupfd is the only caller of alloc_fd this changing alloc_fd is trivially safe. Further this causes alloc_fd to take all of the same arguments as __alloc_fd except for the files_struct argument.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
