[PATCH bpf-next] libbpf: fix errno is overwritten after being closed.

From: Xin Liu
Date: Fri Dec 23 2022 - 08:36:38 EST


In the ensure_good_fd function, if the fcntl function succeeds but
the close function fails, ensure_good_fd returns a normal fd and
sets errno, which may cause users to misunderstand. The close
failure is not a serious problem, and the correct FD has been
handed over to the upper-layer application. Let's restore errno here.
