Although dup3() implies a close(), fd is refcnt'ted, if dup3() runs
concurrently with fchownat() it should not be closed until whoever
the last closes it.

Or maybe fchownat() doesn't even hold refcnt of fd, since it aims
to change the file backed.


Not sure if the following is sufficient, inode might need to be protected
with some lock...
