[PATCH] lib: Avoid double free when passing FDs with virCommandPassFD()

[Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If an FD is passed into a child using:

  virCommandPassFD(cmd, fd, VIR_COMMAND_PASS_FD_CLOSE_PARENT);

then the parent should refrain from touching @fd thereafter. This
is even documented in virCommandPassFD() comment. The reason is
that either at virCommandRun()/virCommandRunAsync() or
virCommandFree() time the @fd will be closed. Closing it earlier,
e.g. right after virCommandPassFD() call might result in
undesired results. Another thread might open a file and receive
the same FD which is then unexpectedly closed by virCommandFree()
or virCommandRun().
