I haven't studied and thought about the motivation behind these two
patches, but one thing I noticed...

A piece of impression I am getting from the above two hunks is that
the fsexcludes_is_excluded_from() function requires a real dtype in
its last parameter (i.e. DT_UNKNOWN is not acceptable).

And this hunk reinforces that impression (we are comparing dtype
with DT_DIR, so we know we cannot be passing DT_UNKNOWN to it).

Then the use of DTYPE() looks a bit odd here. On
NO_D_TYPE_IN_DIRENT platforms, we would get DT_UNKNOWN out of it and
then end up passing DT_UNKNOWN to the function.
