fs: fix fd table size alignment properly
Jason Donenfeld reports that my commit 1c24a186398f ("fs: fd tables have
to be multiples of BITS_PER_LONG") doesn't work, and the reason is an
embarrassing brown-paper-bag bug.
Yes, we want to align the number of fds to BITS_PER_LONG, and yes, the
reason they might not be aligned is because the incoming 'max_fd'
argument might not be aligned.
But aligining the argument - while simple - will cause a "infinitely
big" maxfd (eg NR_OPEN_MAX) to just overflow to zero. Which most
definitely isn't what we want either.
The obvious fix was always just to do the alignment last, but I had
moved it earlier just to make the patch smaller and the code look
simpler. Duh. It certainly made _me_ look simple.
