except we did have a valid fd since we did an fget on the
descriptor, and that would fail if it was bad:
        if ((fp = fget_locked(fdp, fd)) == NULL || fp->f_ops == &badfileops) {
                FILEDESC_UNLOCK(fdp);
                return (EBADF);
        }

or can f_ops change in the middle?

>From my reading it looks like it can can during a close, but if the
application is doing a simultanious close and attaching a knote, that's
a race condition, and we techincally still have a valid fd till was
can't fget the fd anymore...  just MO of course...
