[PATCH v2] generic syscalls: Wire up statx syscall

[Stafford Horne]

The new syscall statx is implemented as generic code, so enable it
for architectures like openrisc which use the generic syscall table.

Out of interest, anybody know OTOH which other stat syscalls statx
supersedes (such that they could at some point be disabled by default
in asm-generic for new arches, and implemented in userspace)?

It should replace the entire stat family {old,new,}{f,}stat{at,}{64,}, but not
the {f,}statfs{64,} family, which will eventually get another replacement.

As suggested by Arnd, I'll pick this up via arm64 for 4.11. I was on holiday
last week, so sorry for the delay.
