[PATCH 09/17] file: Implement fnext_task

["Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>]

As a companion to fget_task and fcheck_task implement fnext_task that
will return the struct file for the first file descriptor show number
is equal or greater than the fd argument value, or NULL if there is
no such struct file.

This allows file descriptors of foreign processes to be iterated through
safely, without needed to increment the count on files_struct.
