[ Upstream commit d888c83fcec75194a8a48ccd283953bdba7b2550 ]

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.
