Thank you for catching this, and thank you for the advice. In other 
words, we need to store a copy of the FDs in a kernel mode buffer that 
is not accessibly by usermode, so we can reliably close the correct FDs 
in the error handling code path. Rajneesh and I will fix this ASAP.

Do you think we should also avoid copying the FDs to usermode before 
we're sure that we'll return success? I don't think it would make a big 
difference because user mode could try to guess the FDs and use them 
before we return from the ioctl either way.
