Actually, what _is_ the reason for that check?  Note, BTW, that if the
file in question happens to be an AF_UNIX socket, closing it will
close all references held in SCM_RIGHTS datagrams sitting in its queue,
which might very well include io_uring files.

IOW, if tries to avoid something really unpleasant, it's not enough.
And if it doesn't, then what is it for?
