Fixes a bug introduced in e166476. The file category is only present on regular files, but we access it unconditionally on anything that isn't a directory. That causes crashes when entering /dev or anywhere else that contains devices, sockets, or FIFOs. Make the access conditional and add a test for entering /dev. Fixes cockpit-project#507
