fix a leak in replace_fd() users
replace_fd() began with "eats a reference, tries to insert into descriptor table" semantics; at some point I'd switched it to much saner current behaviour ("try to insert into descriptor table, grabbing a new reference if inserted; caller should do fput() in any case"), but forgot to update the callers. Mea culpa... [Spotted by Pavel Roskin, who has really weird system with pipe-fed coredumps as part of what he considers a normal boot ;-)] Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
