I've rebased it and am submitting it now.

With fsmonitor enabled, git diff currently lstats every file in the repo
This makes use of the fsmonitor extension to skip lstat() calls on files
that fsmonitor judged as unmodified.

I was able to do some testing with/without this change in a large in-house
repo (~ 400k files).

-----------------------------------------
(1) With fsmonitor enabled - on master of git (2.29.0)
-----------------------------------------
../git/bin-wrappers/git checkout HEAD~200
strace -c ../git/bin-wrappers/git diff

% time     seconds  usecs/call     calls    errors syscall
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
 99.64    4.358994          10    446257         3 lstat
  0.12    0.005353           7       764       360 open

(A subsequent call)
strace -c ../git/bin-wrappers/git diff

% time     seconds  usecs/call     calls    errors syscall
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
 99.84    4.380955          10    444904         3 lstat
  0.06    0.002564         135        19           munmap
...

-----------------------------------------
(2) With fsmonitor enabled - with my patch
-----------------------------------------
../git/bin-wrappers/git checkout HEAD~200
strace -c ../git/bin-wrappers/git diff

% time     seconds  usecs/call     calls    errors syscall
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
 50.72    0.003090         163        19           munmap
 19.63    0.001196         598         2           futex
...
  0.00    0.000000           0         4         3 lstat


-----------------------------------------
(3) With fsmonitor disabled entirely
-----------------------------------------

% time     seconds  usecs/call     calls    errors syscall
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
 98.52    0.277085       92362         3           futex
  0.27    0.000752           4       191        63 open
...
  0.14    0.000397           3       158         3 lstat

I was able to encode this into a perf test in one of the commits.
