Ok, it wasn't obvious from the context of the patch, or the short scope.

Maybe documenting the intentions would help:

 /*
  * Ensure that the UniqueFD closes the file handle.
  *
  * We need to work from a copy of the file handle so we can keep the
  * fd_ number to validate it was closed at the system level while the
  * construction parameter will be correctly re-assigned to -1.
  */
