Can't comment on the usefulness of the patch, but I would like to note:
1. fdt could be freed after you drop the lock, but you never reload the
pointer, thus this looks like use-after-free
2. most of this looks like __close_fd, maybe some parts could be moved
to an inline function so that code duplication is reduced?
