Subject: [PATCH 16/17] file: Merge __alloc_fd into alloc_fd

The function __alloc_fd was added to support binder[1].  With binder
fixed[2] there are no more users.  Further with get_files_struct
removed there can be no more users of __alloc_fd that pass anything
except current->files.

As alloc_fd just calls __alloc_fd with "files=current->files",
merge them together by transforming the files parameter into a
ocal variable initialized to current->files.

[1] dcfadfa4ec5a ("new helper: __alloc_fd()")
[2] 44d8047f1d87 ("binder: use standard functions to allocate fds")
