Subject: [PATCH] fs: Properly pair fget_light/fput_light in fdget/fdput

fdget() is implemented using fget_light(). Its companion fdput()
currently open-codes the behaviour of fput_light(). This is slightly
confusing. To follow the documentation in fs/file.c:688ff to the
letter, use fput_light() in fdput().
