I had something like this in mind:
diff --git a/fs/file.c b/fs/file.c
index a3b72aa64f11..4d3307e39db7 100644
--- a/fs/file.c
+++ b/fs/file.c

unsigned int bitbit = start / BITS_PER_LONG;

bitbit = find_next_zero_bit(fdt->full_fds_bits, maxbit,
bitbit) * BITS_PER_LONG;
if (bitbit >= maxfd)
can you please test it out. I expect it to provide a tiny improvement
over your patch.
