The hell it will.

touch a
touch b
exec 5<a
mv b a
ls -l /proc/$$/fd/5

With your patch and without it, please.

PS: getting rid of socket dentries is a bad idea with the capital "Fuck, No".
For those who want to see where does that path lead and are attracted to
trainwrecks in general I can recommend *BSD socket handling. They have
paid quite painfully for lack of proper vnodes. It's simply not worth
the resulting trouble.
