+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1176242 +++

Description of problem:
When running stress and performance tests against nfs-ganesha, the 
number of open file descriptors increases continously. If the tests run 
long enough, the brick processes will eventually run out of file
descriptors.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
current master and older versions that have glfs_h_creat()

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. setup nfs-ganesha to export a (single brick) volume
2. create files on an nfs mountpoint
3. check the open file descriptors of the brick process

Actual results:
See the file descriptors of the brick process increase...

Expected results:
Increasing number of descriptors, but see it reduce again too.

Additional info:
This seems to be caused by glfs_h_creat() which allocates a 'struct
glfs_fd', but does not release it. A normal glfs_creat() returns the
file descriptor to the application, whereas glfs_h_creat() returns a
handle (struct glfs_object). The file descriptor associated with the
handle can not be release by glfapi-applications.

    gfapi: always close the fd in glfs_h_creat()
    
    When running stress and performance tests against nfs-ganesha, the
    number of open file descriptors increases continously. If the tests run
    long enough, the brick processes will eventually run out of file
    descriptors.
    
    This seems to be caused by glfs_h_creat() which allocates a 'struct
    glfs_fd', but does not release it. A normal glfs_creat() returns the
    file descriptor to the application, whereas glfs_h_creat() returns a
    handle (struct glfs_object). The file descriptor associated with the
    handle can not be release by glfapi-applications.
    
    This fd-leak can be prevented by destroying the 'struct glfs_fd' before
    returning the 'struct gfls_object' to the gfapi-application.
