Why not increment f_count, when grabbing a file struct?
It is graceful solution (checked), and it will make
kernel only more beautiful.
F.e. when one thread writes to socket and sleeps because
of flow control, and second thread closes it, it is removed
from file descriptor table, but not closed really (f_count goes from 2
to 1), so that the first thread will successfuly finish write and socket will
be closed on the exit from sendmsg. Is it not nice?
