[PATCH] fs/file.c: remove useless xchg and NULL check in close_files

From: Mateusz Guzik
Date: Wed Apr 15 2015 - 00:48:01 EST


Since the table is about to be freed, there is no reason to set file
pointer to NULL on closing.

At this point open_fd map is supposed to indicate whether a file is
installed, so NULL-checking it is unnecessary.
