osutil: fix potential wrong fd close
According to POSIX closedir [1]:
If a file descriptor is used to implement type DIR, that file descriptor
shall be closed.
According to POSIX fdopendir [2]:
Upon calling closedir() the file descriptor shall be closed.
So we should avoid "close(dfd)" after "closedir(dir)". With threads, there
could be a race where an innocent fd gets closed. But Python GIL seems to
help hiding the issue well.

Our full contribution guidelines are in our wiki, please see: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit 273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
