Missed check of file desc from open() call in FIFOWriter::FIFOWriteThread()

Description

open() can fail. If it does then a negative file descriptor will be given. In FIFOWriter::FIFOWriteThread() there is a check to see if the fd is -1. If it is, call open. It does not check the fd after that open call. Then it gives the fd to write(). This could cause bad problems if that fd is still -1.
