When a file is open, the resource container pointer of
the file structure is set to the container to which current task is bound.
The reference count of the resource container is incremented for each reference
of the file structure (this is different from the reference count of the file
descriptor since two file descriptors may point to the same file structure).
Similar processing happens for the socket() call also.
In the close routine, the reference count of the associated resource
container is decremented if there are no more references to the file structure.
