[LEDE-DEV] [PATCH fstools] libfstools: fix foreachdir() to pass dir with a trailing slash

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal at milecki.pl>

Commit cc63723d886fd ("overlay: use lstat rather than stat and make sure
there are no trailing spaces") changed behavior of foreachdir() breaking
some callbacks. Before that modification all callbacks were getting
directory with a trailing slash. Above commit started removing them.

This broke handle_whiteout() which doesn't work at all since then. It
constructs file paths incorrectly: slash is missing between directory
and a file name. It seems noone noticed it for years because this issue
got hidden by switch2jffs() which also handles whiteouts with its system
command "cp -a" call.

Fix that regression by setting trailing slash back - right after calling
lstat(). Also to keep code simple just skip all entries that aren't
directories. This keeps conditions for removing/setting trailing slash
trivial. A side effect is not calling callbacks for files which is a
free bonus optimization.

Fixes: cc63723d886fd ("overlay: use lstat rather than stat and make sure there are no trailing spaces")
