dup(2): Remove incorrect sentence about getdtablesize().
There are no getdtablesize() bounds on the file descriptor to be duplicated; it only has to be open. If the RLIMIT_NOFILE rlimit was decreased after opening the file descriptor, it may be greater than or equal to getdtablesize() but still valid. MFC after: 1 week
