Those 2 commits predate commit 13bccee87d63 which dup's the fd for the
DRI2 ST before calling pipe loader functions. XA and vl_winsys_drm do
the same. vl_winsys_dri opens the fd itself. I'm not sure about
vl_winsys_dri3. d3dadapter9 appears to take ownership of the fd. So my
conclusion is still that it shouldn't be necessary to dup the fd.
