To get an operable version of an O_PATH file descriptor, it is possible
to use openat(fd, ".", O_DIRECTORY) for directories, but other files
currently require going through open("/proc/<pid>/fd/<nr>"), which
depends on a functioning procfs.
This patch adds the O_EMPTYPATH flag to openat(2)/openat2(2). If passed,
LOOKUP_EMPTY is set at path resolution time.
Note: This implies that you cannot rely anymore on disabling procfs from
being mounted (e.g. inside a container without procfs mounted and with
CAP_SYS_ADMIN dropped) to prevent O_PATH fds from being re-opened
read-write.
