Open files and directories with O_NOFOLLOW to avoid symlinks attacks.
While being at it also add O_CLOEXEC.
usb-mtp only handles regular files and directories and ignores
everything else, so users should not see a difference.
Because qemu ignores symlinks, carrying out a successful symlink attack
requires swapping an existing file or directory below rootdir for a
symlink and winning the race against the inotify notification to qemu.
