libmisc: Use safer chroot/chdir sequence

Browse Source 
OpenSSH and coreutils' chroot call chroot first and then chdir. Doing it
this way is a bit safer because otherwise something could happen between
chdir and chroot to the specified path (like exchange of links) so the
working directory would not end up within the chroot environment.

This is a purely defensive measure.
