readlinkat(), fchownat() and fstatat() with empty relative pathnames
For readlinkat() we simply allow empty pathname; it will fail unless we have dfd equal to O_PATH-opened symlink, so we are outside of POSIX scope here. For fchownat() and fstatat() we allow AT_EMPTY_PATH; let the caller explicitly ask for such behaviour. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
