[linux] Use fstat() rather than statx()
The statx() system call has a clean header file and a consistent
layout, but was unfortunately added only in kernel 4.11.
Using stat() or fstat() directly is extremely messy since glibc does
not necessarily use the kernel native data structures. However, as
the only current use case is to obtain the length of an open file, we
can merely provide a wrapper that does precisely this.
