I disagree that it is "wrong" to do O_CLOEXEC-by-default (after all,
it's trivial to disable O_CLOEXEC, but it's non-trivial to enable it on
an existing file descriptor because it's possible for another thread to
exec() before you set the flag). Several new syscalls and fd-returning
facilities are O_CLOEXEC-by-default now (the most obvious being pidfds
and seccomp notifier fds).

At the very least there should be a new flag added that sets O_CLOEXEC.
