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.

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).
