Wrong fd.  You aren't changing cloexec on the socket (s->fd), but on the
fd that was received via msg (which you don't know at this point in time).

Only here do you know what fd you received.

I would write it more like:

int flags = 0;
#ifdef MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC
flags |= MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC
#endif
ret = recvmsg(s->fd, &msg, flags);
if (ret > 0 && s->is_unix) {
    unix_process_msgfd(chr, &msg);
#ifndef MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC
    qemu_set_cloexec(/* fd determined from msg */)
#endif
}

which almost implies that unix_process_msgfd() should be the function
that sets cloexec, but without wasting the time doing so if recvmsg
already did the job.
