Unify the primitives for file descriptor closing

Currently we have 3 primitives for removing an opened file from descriptor
table - pick_file(), __close_fd_get_file() and close_fd_get_file().  Their
calling conventions are rather odd and there's a code duplication for no
good reason.  They can be unified -

1) have __range_close() cap max_fd in the very beginning; that way
we don't need separate way for pick_file() to report being past the end
of descriptor table.

2) make {__,}close_fd_get_file() return file (or NULL) directly, rather
than returning it via struct file ** argument.  Don't bother with
(bogus) return value - nobody wants that -ENOENT.

3) make pick_file() return NULL on unopened descriptor - the only caller
that used to care about the distinction between descriptor past the end
of descriptor table and finding NULL in descriptor table doesn't give
a damn after (1).

4) lift ->files_lock out of pick_file()

That actually simplifies the callers, as well as the primitives themselves.
Code duplication is also gone...
