Technically, single file segments codepath will never get triggered when using in-memory mode, because EAL prohibits mixing these two options at initialization time. However, code analyzers do not know that, and some will complain about either using uninitialized variables, or trying to do operations on an already closed descriptor.
Fix this by assuring the compiler or code analyzer that in-memory mode code never gets triggered when using single-file segments mode.
