Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 1/2] fs/file: fix the check in find_next_fd()

From: Yuntao Wang <yuntao.wang@...ux.dev>

[ Upstream commit ed8c7fbdfe117abbef81f65428ba263118ef298a ]

The maximum possible return value of find_next_zero_bit(fdt->full_fds_bits,
maxbit, bitbit) is maxbit. This return value, multiplied by BITS_PER_LONG,
gives the value of bitbit, which can never be greater than maxfd, it can
only be equal to maxfd at most, so the following check 'if (bitbit > maxfd)'
will never be true.

Moreover, when bitbit equals maxfd, it indicates that there are no unused
fds, and the function can directly return.

Fix this check.
