Caught while investigating timeouts on a ARM64 server.
Stracing a test process running the eal_flags_autotest, we can see that
the fork helper is checking all possible file descriptors from
getdtablesize() to 2, and close the existing ones.
We can do better by inspecting this forked process /proc/self/fd
directory.
Besides, checking file descriptors via /proc/self/fd only makes sense for
Linux. This code was a noop on FreeBSD.
