[PATCH] dup3 fix

Browse source 
Al Viro notice one cornercase that the new dup3() code.  The dup2()
function, as a special case, handles dup-ing to the same file
descriptor.  In this case the current dup3() code does nothing at
all.  I.e., it ingnores the flags parameter.  This shouldn't happen,
the close-on-exec flag should be set if requested.

In case the O_CLOEXEC bit in the flags parameter is not set the
dup3() function should behave in this respect identical to dup2().
This means dup3(fd, fd, 0) should not actively reset the c-o-e
flag.

The patch below implements this minor change.

[AV: credits to Artur Grabowski for bringing that up as potential subtle point
in dup2() behaviour]
