Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] fs/file.c: conditionally clear full_fds

64 bits in open_fds are mapped to a common bit in full_fds_bits. It is very
likely that a bit in full_fds_bits has been cleared before in
__clear_open_fds()'s operation. Check the clear bit in full_fds_bits before
clearing to avoid unnecessary write and cache bouncing. See commit fc90888d07b8
("vfs: conditionally clear close-on-exec flag") for a similar optimization.
Together with patch 1, they improves pts/blogbench-1.1.0 read for 27%, and write
for 14% on Intel ICX 160 cores configuration with v6.10-rc4.
