6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Malaya Kumar Rout <mrout@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 56c17ee151c6e1a73d77e15b82a8e2130cd8dd16 ]

The file descriptor opened in isolate_cpus() when (!level) is true was
not being closed before returning, causing a file descriptor leak in
both the error path and the success path.

When write() fails at line 950, the function returns at line 953 without
closing the file descriptor. Similarly, on success, the function returns
at line 956 without closing the file descriptor.

Add close(fd) calls before both return statements to fix the resource
leak. This follows the same pattern used elsewhere in the same function
where file descriptors are properly closed before returning (see lines
1005 and 1027).
