It's only a single fd that's closed upon exit, but anyway...

You're right, that's unintended. I admit that I haven't tested passing a
device instead of a mountpoint that much.

My naive approach would be to pass an int * to scrub_fs_info. One has to
make sure that scrub_start doesn't rely on "fdmnt" not being updated.
After skipping through it, I think it expects "fdmnt" to be an open fd,
and it looks like it should be exactly the one used in scrub_fs_info.
Would you like to test the int * approach?

Apart from my proposed solution, the spacing in your patch doesn't
follow the style guide. No space here.
