Refcount socket Dirents correctly.
This should fix the socket Dirent memory leak. fs.NewFile takes a new reference. It should hold the *only* reference. DecRef that socket Dirent. Before the globalDirentMap was introduced, a mis-refcounted Dirent would be garbage collected when all references to it were gone. For socket Dirents, this meant that they would be garbage collected when the associated fs.Files disappeared. After the globalDirentMap, Dirents *must* be reference-counted correctly to be garbage collected, as Dirents remove themselves from the global map when their refcount goes to -1 (see Dirent.destroy). That removes the last pointer to that Dirent. PiperOrigin-RevId: 196878973 Change-Id: Ic7afcd1de97c7101ccb13be5fc31de0fb50963f0
