This converts all slow syscalls in the Dir.empty? implementation
to release GVL. We avoid unnecessarily GVL release and
reacquire for each slow call (opendir, readdir, closedir) and
instead only release and acquire the GVL once in the common
case.
Benchmark results show a small degradation in single-threaded
performance:
Execution time (sec)
name trunk built
dir_empty_p 0.689 0.758
Speedup ratio: compare with the result of `trunk' (greater is better)
name built
dir_empty_p 0.909
dir.c (rb_gc_for_fd_with_gvl): new function
(nogvl_dir_empty_p): ditto
(dir_s_empty_p): use new functions to release GVL
