Unfortunately, devfs on FreeBSD (accessible via /dev/fd) exposes
only those FDs which can be represented as a file. To cite
manpage [1]:

 The files /dev/fd/0 through /dev/fd/# refer to file descriptors
 which can be accessed through the file system.

This means FDs representing pipes and/or unnamed sockets are not
visible by default. To expose all FDs a slightly different
filesystem must be mounted [2]:

 mount -t fdescfs none /dev/fd

Apparently, on my test machine fdescfs is mounted by default and
thus I haven't seen any problem. Only after aforementioned patch
was merged our CI started reporting problems. While we could try
to figure out whether correct FS is mounted, it's a needless
micro optimization. Just revert the code to the state it was
before I touched it.

This reverts commit 308ec0fb2c77f4867179f00c628f05d1d784f370.
