Subject: [PATCH] io_uring: statx must grab the file table for valid fd

Clay reports that OP_STATX fails for a test case with a valid fd
and empty path:

 -- Test 0: statx:fd 3: SUCCEED, file mode 100755
 -- Test 1: statx:path ./uring_statx: SUCCEED, file mode 100755
 -- Test 2: io_uring_statx:fd 3: FAIL, errno 9: Bad file descriptor
 -- Test 3: io_uring_statx:path ./uring_statx: SUCCEED, file mode 100755

This is due to statx not grabbing the process file table, hence we can't
lookup the fd in async context. If the fd is valid, ensure that we grab
the file table so we can grab the file from async context.
