Replace the fd_sets in struct fdtable with an array of unsigned longs

Replace the fd_sets in struct fdtable with an array of unsigned longs and then
use the standard non-atomic bit operations rather than the FD_* macros.

This:

 (1) Removes the abuses of struct fd_set:

     (a) Since we don't want to allocate a full fd_set the vast majority of the
     	 time, we actually, in effect, just allocate a just-big-enough array of
     	 unsigned longs and cast it to an fd_set type - so why bother with the
     	 fd_set at all?

     (b) Some places outside of the core fdtable handling code (such as
     	 SELinux) want to look inside the array of unsigned longs hidden inside
     	 the fd_set struct for more efficient iteration over the entire set.

 (2) Eliminates the use of FD_*() macros in the kernel completely.

 (3) Permits the __FD_*() macros to be deleted entirely where not exposed to
     userspace.
