Really? You copy all references to new files_struct upon clone(), then
destroy them on close_files() and you claim that it's easier than
clone() with CLONE_FILES (get an extra reference) followed by allocation
of new files_struct (as you would do in your variant anyway) and dropping
aforementioned reference?
