unix: fix a possible memory leak in uv_fs_readdir
Some scandir implementations allocate the dirent struct even if the
directory is empty, so if `scandir` returns 0 there may still be memory
that needs to get deallocated. I have altered uv__fs_readdir to go to
the "deallocation exit area" when 0 files are found in the directory
and continue to return early on a return value of -1.
I went to add a test for this functionality, but it appears that one
already exists (reading an empty directory), so I imagine that the
valgrind builds must only be happening on linux instead of OSX as well?
I have confirmed manually that a program without this fix will
infinitely leak memory, and with this fix the memory usage stays
constant.1 parent f3d311e commit 7c6bddb
