[PATCH] uml: close TUN/TAP file descriptors
When UML opens a TUN/TAP device, the file descriptor could be copied into later, long-lived threads, holding the device open even after the interface is taken down, preventing it from being brought up again. This patch makes these descriptors close-on-exec so that they disappear from helper processes, and adds CLONE_FILES to a UML helper thread so that the descriptors are closed in the thread when they are closed elsewhere in UML.
