While playing with cppcheck tool, I found few resource leaks in stap-serverd.cxx:
- handleRequest: arg was not freed if opening/reading argfile failed
- handleRequest: argfile was not fclosed when reading from it failed
- spawn_and_wait: dotfd was not closed if chdir fails (macro expanded to accomodate resource release)
- spawn_and_wait: cleaned some whitespace up around the fix itself
