[PATCH v2] vfs: support statx(..., NULL, AT_EMPTY_PATH, ...)

[PATCH v2] vfs: support statx(..., NULL, AT_EMPTY_PATH, ...)

[Mateusz Guzik]

The newly used helper also checks for 0-sized buffers.

NULL paths with any flag value other than AT_EMPTY_PATH go the usual
route and end up with -EFAULT to retain compatibility (Rust is abusing
calls of the sort to detect availability of statx).

This avoids path lookup code, lockref management, memory allocation and
in case of NULL path userspace memory access (which can be quite
expensive with SMAP on x86_64).

statx(..., AT_EMPTY_PATH, ...) issued on Sapphire Rapids (ops/s):
stock:     4231237
0-check:   5944063 (+40%)
NULL path: 6601619 (+11%/+56%)

Diffed against fs-next and assumes c050122bdbb4 ("fs: new helper
vfs_empty_path()") from vfs.empty.path is already applied.

WARNING: io_uring remains untested (modulo compilation). I presume
Jens has a handy way of making sure things still work. 

While the io_uring part can be added at a later date, but I'm trying to
avoid a scenario where someone has code which works with the NULL path
and breaks when moving to io_uring. I am not going to argue about it
however, worst case changes to io_uring can be trivially dropped and
someone(tm) can add their own variant whenever they see fit.

v2:
- support glibc passing AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT | AT_EMPTY_PATH
- tidy up some commentary
- drop the fdget_raw CLASS addition as it is already present in newer
  trees
