systemd-bootchart: Prevent closing random file descriptors
...
If the kernel has no CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG option set, systemd-bootchart produces
empty .svg file. The reason for this is very fragile file descriptor logic in
log_sample() and main() (/* do some cleanup, close fd's */ block). There are
many places where file descriptors are closed on failure (missing SCHED_DEBUG
provokes it), but there are several problems with it:
- following iterations in the loop see that the descriptor is non zero and do
not open the corresponding file again;
- "some cleanup" code closes already closed files and the descriptors are reused
already, in particular for resulting .svg file;
- static "vmstat" and "schedstat" variables in log_sample() made the situation
even worse.
These are the strace fragments:

where it obviously tries to close same and reused decriptors many times, also
passing return code "-1" instead of descriptor...
