SubjectRe: [PATCH 2/4] files: fix expand_files return code


If expand_fdtable() sees that someone else expanded the fdtable
while it dropped the lock, it can return 0 which in turn
can be returned by expand_files() even though there has
been an expansion of the fdtable since expand_files()
was originally called. This could lead to locate_fd()
not repeating the fd search and returning a bogus fd.
This patch fixes this problem.
