[LTP] [PATCH 2/2] close: add test for double close EBADF

Verify that calling close() on an already closed file descriptor fails
with EBADF.

The existing close tests cover:
- close01: successful close on valid file descriptors
- close02: invalid file descriptor (-1)

This test adds coverage for a common state transition case where a
previously valid file descriptor becomes invalid after close().
