statx: Kill fd-with-NULL-path support in favour of AT_EMPTY_PATH
With the new statx() syscall, the following both allow the attributes of
the file attached to a file descriptor to be retrieved:
statx(dfd, NULL, 0, ...);
and:
statx(dfd, "", AT_EMPTY_PATH, ...);
Change the code to reject the first option, though this means copying
the path and engaging pathwalk for the fstat() equivalent. dfd can be a
non-directory provided path is "".
[ The timing of this isn't wonderful, but applying this now before we
have statx() in any released kernel, before anybody starts using the
NULL special case. - Linus ]
Fixes: a528d35e8bfc ("statx: Add a system call to make enhanced file info available")
