The service handler for fileargs_open() tries to pre-open multiple files
and pass descriptors for each back to the sandboxed process in a single
message. This is to amortize the cost of round-trips between the two
processes.
The service process adds a "cache" nvlist to the reply to "open",
containing file descriptors for pre-opened files. However, when adding
that nvlist to the reply, it was making a copy, effectively leaking the
cached descriptors.
While here, fix spelling in a local variable name.

The limit of the name in fileargs is twice the size of the MAXPATH.
The nvlist will not add an element with the longer name.
We can detect at this point that the path is too big, and simple return
the same error as open(2) would.

cap_fileargs is a Casper service which helps to sandbox applications that need
access to the filesystem namespace. The main purpose of the service is to make
easy to capsicumize applications that works on multiple files passed in argv.
We have a couple example of using it but we still treat this service as an
experimental one.
