When cookie gets withdrawn, Cachefiles will send a CLOSE request to user
daemon, telling that the associated anon_fd could be closed. But it's
just a hint. User daemon could keep the anon_fd open when it receives
the CLOSE request. After sending the CLOSE request, Cachefiles will go
on the process of withdrawing cookie and won't wait for a reply
synchronously. So CLOSE request is just a hint to user daemon, and it
doesn't need to be replied.
