[PATCH] Fix stdlib/test-canon.c to reliably run over NFS


On NFS unlinking a still open file will rename it to .nfsXXX.  This
test does just that and then tries to remove the directory that is
supposed to be empty.  This fails so the test never cleans up after
itself.  If you happen to run the same test later (after a proper
tests-clean) it is unprepared to deal with the already-existing
directory and fails in an unexpected way.

This patch closes the fd before unlinking the file.

	* stdlib/test-canon.c (do_test): Close fd before unlinking.
