iio: use anon_inode_getfd() with O_CLOEXEC flag
IIO uses anon_inode_get() to allocate file descriptors as part of its ioctls. But those ioctls are lacking a flag argument allowing userspace to choose options for the newly opened file descriptor. In such case it's advised to use O_CLOEXEC by default so that userspace is allowed to choose, without race, if the file descriptor is going to be inherited across exec(). KVM usage of anon_inode_getfd() was fixed in a previous patchset [1], so IIO is the only subsystem using anon_inode_getfd() with a fixed set of flags not including O_CLOEXEC. This patch set O_CLOEXEC flag on the event file descriptor created with anon_inode_getfd() to not leak file descriptors across exec().
