[PATCH] fs/stat: reject invalid flags for empty paths

[Avi Weiss]

vfs_fstatat() and statx() take the file descriptor fast path when
AT_EMPTY_PATH is set, even if unsupported flag bits are present.
This bypasses vfs_statx() flag validation and lets both syscalls
succeed with AT_RECURSIVE.

Restrict the fast paths to supported flags so invalid combinations
fall through to vfs_statx() and return -EINVAL.

Fixes: e896474fe485 ("getname_maybe_null() - the third variant of pathname copy-in")
