[gentoo-dev] [PATCH 3/3] multiprocesing.eclass: Remove redirect_alloc_fd

[Michał Górny]

Remove the redirect_alloc_fd function that is no longer used since
the removal of multijob* functions. The function is complex, has little
potential use and an equivalent functionality is built-in in newer bash
versions, making it completely unnecessary for EAPI 6.
