file: In f_dupfd read RLIMIT_NOFILE once.
Simplify the code, and remove the chance of races by reading RLIMIT_NOFILE only once in f_dupfd. Pass the read value of RLIMIT_NOFILE into alloc_fd which is the other location the rlimit was read in f_dupfd. As f_dupfd is the only caller of alloc_fd this changing alloc_fd is trivially safe. Further this causes alloc_fd to take all of the same arguments as __alloc_fd except for the files_struct argument.
