[LTP] [PATCH 1/2] memcg/memcontrol02: fix fd leak in cleanup path

fd is initialized to 0 (a valid file descriptor) so the cleanup()
guard 'if (fd > -1)' would never trigger. Initialize to -1 and
add SAFE_CLOSE to prevent the descriptor leaking when a SAFE_*
macro calls tst_brk() during the pagecache allocation test.
