 * file descriptor while it is actively being used by a thread.
 *
 * Don't forget that the tracker may be initiating an fd 'suspension'
 * from another thread as the need to free an fd slot may arise from any
 * thread within the daemon.
 *
 * Note that a restorable fd should never be held for longer than
 * strictly necessary (e.g. the duration of a syscall()).
 *
 * Returns the fd on success, otherwise a negative value may be returned
 * if the restoration of the fd failed.

 * However, note that the file will be renamed so as to provide the observable
 * effect of an unlink(), that is removing a name from the filesystem.
