With the use of "do things normally and jump to cleanup-fail label"
pattern, I think you do not want the close() here (unless you also
assign -1 to fd yourself, but that is a pointless workaround).
Another goto we see above after fstat() failure correctly omits it.

This correctly calls free-and-null not just free (otherwise we'd
break the cleanup-fail procedure below), which is good.

Hmph, I thought we had FLEX_ALLOC_*() convenience functions exactly
for doing things like this more safely.

I wonder who the target reader of this comment is.  We certainly are
not in the business of C language newbies.

If this _were_ a commit that looked like this:

	-	if (ptr)
	-		free(ptr);
	+	/* no need to check for NULL when freeing */
	+	free(ptr);

then it might be more understandable, but it still is wrong (such a
comment does not help understanding the new code, which is the only
thing the people who read the comment sees, without knowing what was
there previously---it belongs to the commit log message as a rationale
to make that change).

I actually was quite surprised that this struct is defined in
object-store.h and not here.  It feels the other way around.

The raw_object_store needs to know that such an in-core structure
might exist as an optional feature in an object store, but as an
optional feature, I suspect that it has a pointer to an instance of
multi_pack_index, instead of embedding the struct itself in it, so I
would have expected to see an "I am only telling you that there is a
struct with this name, but I am leaving it opaque as you do not have
any business looking inside the struct yourself.  You only need to
be aware of the type's existence and a pointer to it so that you can
call helpers that know what's inside and that should be sufficient
for your needs." decl like this in object-store.h and instead an
actual implementation in here.
