That's fine by me as well.

It'd be great if the net folks could tell Alex how they would want this
handled.

Installing an fd into an fdtable makes it visible to userspace at which
point calling close_fd() is doable but an absolute last resort and
generally a good indicator of misdesign. If the bpf hook wants to make
decisions based on the file then it should receive a struct
file, not an fd.
