Why I did it
This PR is to add a patch to fix potential fd leak issue in AsyncSniffer in scapy python library.
There are two fd leak scenarios.
When starting worker thread _run, if an interface is down, an OSError is thrown, and the sockets that have been created will be leaked as it never got a chance to be closed.
When stopping the worker thread, same error can happen when calling close. The sockets not closed will be leaked.
How I did it
Catch OSError when creating sockets, and catch any exception when closing socket to ensure all sockets are closed.
How to verify it
Verified by the testing code above. No fd leak happened.
