[PATCH v7 04/26] spl: semihosting: Don't close fd before spl_load_simple_fit

On real hardware, semihosting calls tend to have a large constant
overhead (on the order of tens of milliseconds). Reduce the number of
calls by one by reusing the existing fd in smh_fit_read, and closing it
at the end of spl_smh_load_image.
