FYI: getcwd.c fix: don't use closed FD

I don't know of a system on which this bug can be exercised.
I found it only by manually building getcwd.o, even though
this system already has a mostly-working one.
The symptom is that getcwd would always fail with ENOENT.

        Don't use FD after a successful "fdopendir (fd)".
        * lib/getcwd.c (__getcwd) [AT_FDCWD]: fdopendir (fd) usually closes fd.
        Reset it by calling dirfd on the just-obtained DIR*.
