RE: 1.7.9: mq_unlink/mq_open leaks handles

[Manuel Wienand <Manuel.Wienand@ubitronix.com>]

Grmpf,

sorry for the spam. Just realized that mq_close is still needed, even if we don't want to open the queue again.
mq_unlink just deletes the file while mq_close frees the resources of the mqd_t struct.
