Honestly, I think trying to remove file descriptors and such after
-EFAULT is a waste of time. If userspace runs into -EFAULT, userspace
is beyond saving and can't really do much other than exit immediately.
There are a bunch of places that will change state and then throw
-EFAULT at the end if userspace supplied an invalid address, because
trying to hold locks across userspace accesses just in case userspace
supplied a bogus address is kinda silly (and often borderline
impossible).

You can actually see that even scm_detach_fds() currently just
silently swallows errors if writing some header fields fails at the
end.
