Subject: [PATCH] fs: clear close-on-exec flag as part of put_unused_fd()

close-on-exec flag is set by get_unused_fd_flags(), it makes
sense to clear it in the opposite function, eg. put_unused_fd().

Additionally, since the close_on_exec bit array is always initialized
to 0, it can be safely assumed that any newly allocated file descriptor
has close-on-exec flag not set, so there's no need to clear it
explicitly.
