You saw the answer to your question later in the patch series, but for
the benefit of other readers:

This function will be useful to manage the lifetime of a file whose
creation is not as simple as open(); for example, if the file has to
itself be created using the lockfile API, or if it is not a regular file
(e.g., a socket). I will explain this better in the commit message in v2.

Good point. I will rename the latter to prepare_tempfile_object() and
add a docstring.
