I'm skeptical about the usefulness of this, but it's in POSIX, it's
in glibc (but not iOS), and it is used in some internal source (test
runners and container code).
Bug: N/A
Test: ran tests

Support O_PATH file descriptors when handling fgetxattr and fsetxattr.
This avoids requiring file read access to pull extended attributes.
This is needed to support O_PATH file descriptors when calling
SELinux's fgetfilecon() call. In particular, this allows the querying
and setting of SELinux file context by using something like the following
code:
int dirfd = open("/path/to/dir", O_DIRECTORY);
int fd = openat(dirfd, "file", O_PATH | O_NOFOLLOW);
char *context;
fgetfilecon(fd, &context);
This change was motivated by a comment in
