    fts: fix fts_accpath regression after fts_children()
    
    When fts_children() is called, sp->fts_child is set. On the
    next fts_read() call, fts_safe_changedir() was incorrectly
    passed p->fts_dirfd (pointing to the parent directory) instead
    of -1. This caused fts to fchdir to the parent instead of the
    child directory, silently skipping the contents of 3rd-level
    subdirectories. This was observed as a failure in
    nmtree_test:mtree_create which calls fts_children() internally.
    
    Add regression test accpath_correct_after_descent that calls
    fts_children() on each directory entry and verifies files at
    depth 3 are still visited correctly. The test fails with the
    unfixed libc and passes with the fix.
