The maximum possible return value of find_next_zero_bit(fdt->full_fds_bits, maxbit, bitbit) is maxbit. This return value, multiplied by BITS_PER_LONG, gives the value of bitbit, which can never be greater than maxfd, it can only be equal to maxfd at most, so the following check 'if (bitbit > maxfd)' will never be true. Moreover, when bitbit equals maxfd, it indicates that there are no unused fds, and the function can directly return. Fix this check.
