[libvirt] [PATCHv2 2/4] fdstream: avoid double close bug

Wen Congyang reported that we have a double-close bug if we fail
virFDStreamOpenInternal, since childfd duplicated one of the fds[]
array contents.  In truth, since we always transfer both members
of fds to other variables, we should close the fds through those
other names, and just use fds[] for pipe().

Bug present since 0.9.0 (commit e886237a).

* src/fdstream.c (virFDStreamOpenFileInternal): Swap scope of
childfd and fds[], to avoid a double close.

v2: my alternative to Wen's original proposal
