Unfortunately, it ends up calling that kfree() on success as well as on failure.
Idiomatic way to avoid that would be
	return no_free_ptr(fdt);
but you've left bare
	return fdt;
in there, ending up with returning dangling pointers to the caller.  So as
soon as you get more than BITS_PER_LONG descriptors used by a process,
you'll get trouble.  In particular, bash(1) running as an interactive shell
would hit that - it has descriptor 255 opened...
