[PATCH v2 1/4] fs: devfs: implement cdev_fdopen

[Ahmad Fatoum]

As an alternative to cdev_open and using cdev_read/write, we define a
new cdev_fdopen function that returns a file descriptor. The benefit of
this is that code using it may use all the more high level helpers we
have for reading/writing file descriptors.
