[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] sockets: avoid leak of listen file descriptor

["Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@redhat.com>]

If we iterate over the full port range without successfully binding+listening
on the socket, we'll try the next address, whereupon we overwrite the slisten
file descriptor variable without closing it.

Rather than having two places where we open + close socket FDs on different
iterations of nested for loops, re-arrange the code to always open+close
within the same loop iteration.
