add fallback emulation for accept4 on old kernels the other atomic FD_CLOEXEC interfaces (dup3, pipe2, socket) already had such emulation in place. the justification for doing the emulation here is the same as for the other functions: it allows applications to simply use accept4 rather than having to have their own fallback code for ENOSYS/EINVAL (which one you get is arch-specific!) and there is no reasonable way an application could benefit from knowing the operation is emulated/non-atomic since there is no workaround at the application level for non-atomicity (that is the whole reason these interfaces were added).
