From: "Demi M. Obenour" <demiobenour@xxxxxxxxx>
This adds the file open flag O_PATHSTATIC, which ensures that symbolic
links are *never* followed, even in path components other than the last.
This is distinct from O_NOFOLLOW, which only prevents symlinks in the
*last* component from being followed.
This is useful for avoiding race conditions in userspace code that
should expose only a subset of the filesystem to clients. This includes
FTP and SFTP servers, QEMU, and others.
Currently, O_NOFOLLOW must be set if O_PATHSTATIC is set. Otherwise,
open() fails with -EINVAL.
