fs/file: optimize close_range() complexity from O(N) to O(Sparse) ...

In close_range(), the kernel traditionally performs a linear scan over the
[fd, max_fd] range, resulting in O(N) complexity where N is the range size.
For processes with sparse FD tables, this is inefficient as it checks many
unallocated slots.

This patch optimizes __range_close() by using find_next_bit() on the
open_fds bitmap to skip holes. This shifts the algorithmic complexity from
O(Range Size) to O(Active FDs), providing a significant performance boost
for large-range close operations on sparse file descriptor tables.
