While registering new files by IORING_REGISTER_FILES, there're not
valid fixed_file_ref_node at the moment, so it's unnecessary to hold
fixed_file_data's lock when registering files.

Even if that were the case (I haven't looked too closely at it yet),
it would a) need a big comment explaining why, and b) some justification
on why this would be a change we'd want to make.

On b, are you seeing any tangible differences with this?

No, just found this by reading source codes.

OK, then I suggest we leave it as it is. The data race analyzers wouldn't
be very happy with it either.
