This patch can be tested on system where,
Number of scsi device node (/dev/sg<X>) are more than total number of device node that can be opened at a time.(using open call)

The reason being is : In device_close call earlier we were just doing unlink of opened device file (/tmp/nodexyz) without closing descriptor which eventually will result in sort of file descriptor and database creation will failed as we won't have free descriptor to be given for creating database.

This issue can be observed only on system where scsi device node is more than the number of device file can be opened at a time on system.

Procedure to test:
1. run vpdupdate (on system with above details)

and vpdupdate will fail.
