PATCH 1/1 libmultipath: sanitize fd handling

One should remember that '0' _is_ a valid fd, so we need to set the fd to '-1' upon allocating the path structure and ensure we're checking for a value _smaller_ than 0 to detect an invalid fd.

There's one more wrong fd reference in libmultipath/checkers/cciss_tur.c:76. And a nitpick: The comment in checkers.h:14 should be fixed as well.

Apart from that: nice (although not strictly necessary, as multipathd currently runs with fd 0 connected to /dev/null under normal conditions).

I overlooked the memset usage in my review. Hannes himself brought that to my attention. Will send fixup patch in a minute.
