Subject: [PATCH] os: avoid closing null fd at Fopen

In `Fopen` function variable `iop` may store NULL as a result of `fopen`
call. In this case, if later privileges couldn't be restored (`seteuid`
call fails), further `fclose(iop)` call will cause runtime error.

This commit adds check `iop` for NULL before calling `fclose` to prevent
potential NULL pointer dereference.
