Although other parts of devbind don't use it, the current preferred Python
style is to use f' strings.

Also if you use a "with" block, then the close function is automatic.

Lastly, when I looked at adding vmbus support, it was rejected in favor
the more complete driverctl utility. So at least in theory, this patch
should be rejected, and the functionality moved to driverctl.
