[PATCH] lib: libfile: Do not ignore errors in close()

From: Andrey Smirnov <andrew.smirnov at gmail.com>

Some character devices may perform meaningful operations in their
implementation of close() -- a good example would be socfpga.c which
checks if the FPGA was programmed succesfully in it's close() method
-- so ignoring return value of this call may cause false positives in
checking exit status for success.
