The function __alloc_fd was added to support binder[1]. With binder fixed[2] there are no more users. Further with get_files_struct removed there can be no more users of __alloc_fd that pass anything except current->files.
As alloc_fd just calls __alloc_fd with "files=current->files", merge them together by transforming the files parameter into a ocal variable initialized to current->files.
