Following Linux, allow the pathname argument to be an empty string if the AT_EMPTY_PATH flag is specified. In this case the dirfd argument can refer to any type of file, not just a directory, and the call operates on that file. In particular, dirfd can refer to a symlink that was opened with O_PATH | O_NOFOLLOW.
