pppd: Close already open ppp descriptors
When using the kernel PPPoE driver in conjunction with the "persist" option,
the already open descriptor to /dev/ppp is not closed when the link is
reestablished. This eventually leads to high CPU load because the stray
descriptors are always reported as ready by select().
This patch closes the descriptor if it is already open when establishing a
new connection. It originated from the Debian project.
