In f07c7cc4684a, do_handle_open() was switched to use the automatic cleanup method for getting a FD. In that change it was also switched to pass O_CLOEXEC unconditionally to get_unused_fd_flags() instead of passing the user-specified flags. I don't see anything in that commit description that indicates this was intentional, so I am assuming it was an oversight. With this fix, the FD will again be opened with, or without, O_CLOEXEC according to what the user requested.
