Are you suggesting the in both the error, and non-error cases the ioctl
invoker side is responsible for fput'ing the final reference in both the
success and non-success cases? Would we take an extra reference
prior to fd_install?

Wouldn't this result in consumption of reference in one case (fd_install),
and the fd still having a reference in the replace_fd case?
