find_next_fd() finds free fds, not used ones.

You can't do __put_unused_fd() if the old pointer in fdt->fd[fd] was
NULL - because that means that the fd has been reserved by another
thread that is about to put a file pointer in there, and if you
release the fd here, that messes up the refcounting (or hits the
BUG_ON() in __fd_install()).

Note that with a pattern like this, you have to be careful about what
happens if someone gives you max_fd==0xffffffff - then this condition
is always true and the loop can not terminate this way.

(obviously it can still terminate this way)
