Will fix and push.

We do not care here since these are just pipes, the test will fail with
TBROK and kernel will destroy the pipes once the process exits.

We have to close real files in test temporary directory, because if we
do not do so, tst_rmdir() may fail on nfs. E.g. if you create a file on
nfs, open it and unlink it, the directory is not empty as one would
expect and cannot be removed.
