uml: cope with uml_net security fix

Pass the interface to close as an fd besides that by name... passing it by name does not work with newer uml_net because that allows to ifconfig down arbitrary interfaces, while if you have an open fd to the SLIP interface it means you have full access to it (and thus can close it). Passing only by fd does not work with older utilities, so we do both things (which does not hurt).
