RFA: always close fd if bfd_fopen fails


Currently, bfd_fopen has confused error handling.

If the caller passes in a file descriptor, then on any error exit before
fdopen is called, the fd will be left open; but on any error exit after
fdopen is called, the fd will be closed.

This patch changes bfd_fopen to always close the fd on error.

I audited all callers of bfd_fopen and bfd_fdopen in gdb, binutils, and
ld and fixed them not to close the fd on error.  There was only one call
outside of gdb, in ar.c, and it immediately calls bfd_fatal, and so does
not need a change.

Ok?

b/bfd/ChangeLog:
2012-05-25  Tom Tromey  <tromey@redhat.com>

	* opncls.c (bfd_fopen): Always close fd on failure.
	(bfd_fdopenr): Likewise.

b/gdb/ChangeLog:
2012-05-25  Tom Tromey  <tromey@redhat.com>

	* symfile.c (symfile_bfd_open): Don't close desc if bfd_fopen
	fails.
	* solib.c (solib_bfd_fopen): Don't close fd if bfd_fopen fails.
	* exec.c (exec_file_attach): Don't close scratch_chan if bfd_fopen
	fails.
	* dwarf2read.c (try_open_dwo_file): Don't close fd if bfd_fopen
	fails.
