* udev/udev-node.c: Properly close directory handles to fix a major fd leak
which caused hotplugging to fail entirely. (LP: #463347)
* udev/udevd.c, handle_inotify(): Fix datatype for FIONREAD ioctl return
type. It must be an int, not an ssize_t; the latter causes uninitialized
values and tries to allocate a 15 digit number of bytes, unless the upper
half of the variable just happens to be zeroed. (Upstream commit http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commit;h=4daa146b)
