rG1a3c32bac0f0: scandir: Propagate errors from readdir().
rG62e0f12f5104: scandir: Propagate errors from readdir().

Summary

Currently, if readdir() fails, scandir() simply returns a partial
result (or a null result if it fails before any entries were selected).
There is no way within the current API design to return both a partial
result and an error indicator, so err on the side of caution: if an
error occurs, discard any partial result and return the error instead.
