Subject: [PATCH] close_files(): reimplement based on do_close_on_exec()

While here take more advantage of the fact nobody should be messing with
the table anymore and don't clear the fd slot.

how about this instead, I think it's a nicer clean up.

It's literally do_close_on_exec except locking and put fd are deleted.

boots & does not blow up, but admittedly I did not bother with ltp or
any serious testing
