This is a minimal fix for what would be reported by Coverity as "Improper use of negative value" (CWE-394): port_fwd_init() doesn't guarantee that all the pre-opened file handles are actually valid. We should probably warn on failing open() and open_in_ns() in port_fwd_init(), too, but that's outside the scope of this minimal fix. Before commit 5a0485425bc9 ("port_fwd: Pre-open /proc/net/* files rather than on-demand"), we used to have a single open() call and a check after it.
