Thanks for pointing that out. Need unlock before return. I don't like
adding task_lock in alloc_fd path if there are multiple alloc_fd going
on causing contention.
The race with rlimit change should be a very rare thing. Should be
sufficient that patch one check for fd not going beyond the observed
rlimit.
