[PATCH trivial 0/2] split out os_close_all_open_fd and use it in net/tap

We have at least two places in qemu where we're closing all possible file
descriptors, - in async-teardown.c and in net/tap.c.  While async-teardown
one uses either close_range() or readdir(/proc/self/fd), the two calls in
net/tap.c loops from 3 to RLIMIT_NOFILE, which might be quite slow, and
it actually *is* slow on some systems (eg, just qemu-system-x86_64 startup
with a tap device is very slow on alpine linux).

While for net/tap.c, maybe the better fix is to get rid of this closing
entirely and use O_CLOEXEC instead, this needs to be prepared at first,
while we alredy have almost ready-to-be-used implementation which only
needs to be moved into a common place.

Michael Tokarev (2):
  close_all_open_fd(): move to oslib-posix.c
  net/tap: use os_close_all_open_fd() instead of open-coding it
