Yeah - Coverity only complained about the two paths - so I was hesitant
to put the VIR_FORCE_CLOSE(passfd) in the error: path...

In any case, putting it the error: path does resolve the issue as well
as making sure to initialize passfd = -1 (initializing fd = -1 wasn't
necessary since there's currently no way to error unless it's set)
