Treat a special file opened with O_PATH the same as a regular file, i.e., use its handle to get the stat information. Before this change, fstat_fs opened the file a second time, with the wrong flags and without closing the existing handle. A side effect was to change the openflags of the file, possibly causing further system calls to fail. Currently this change only affects FIFOs, but it will affect AF_LOCAL/AF_UNIX sockets too once they support O_PATH.
