[PATCH] qemu-nbd: Close inherited stderr

[Raphael Pour]

Hello,

after e6df58a5, the inherited stderr 'old_stderr' won't get closed
anymore if 'fork_process' is false. This causes other processes relying
on EOF to infinitely block or crash.

Subject: [PATCH] qemu-nbd: Close inherited stderr

Close inherited stderr of the parent if fork_process is false.
Otherwise no one will close it. (introduced by e6df58a5)
