Hi Zhiqiang,

The commit message and commit log need to be swapped.

Something like:

Commit message says what the patch does:
[ndctl PATCH 2/2] namespace: Close fd before return in do_xaction_namespace()

Commit log says why it needs to be done:
This prevents a potential file descriptor leak in do_xaction_namespace()

And, same as in Patch 1 - mention it was found by Coverity.
