Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] fcntl: introduce F_SET_DESCRIPTION
This command attaches a description to a file descriptor for
troubleshooting purposes. The free string is displayed in the
process fdinfo file for that fd /proc/pid/fdinfo/fd.
One intended usage is to allow processes to self-document sockets
for netstat and friends to report
