Subject: 9pfs: fix O_PATH build break with older glibc versions

When O_PATH is used with O_DIRECTORY, it only acts as an optimization: the
openat() syscall simply finds the name in the VFS, and doesn't trigger the
underlying filesystem.

On systems that don't define O_PATH, because they have glibc version 2.13
or older for example, we can safely omit it. We don't want to deactivate
O_PATH globally though, in case it is used without O_DIRECTORY. The is done
with a dedicated macro.

Systems without O_PATH may thus fail to resolve names that involve
unreadable directories, compared to newer systems succeeding, but such
corner case failure is our only option on those older systems to avoid
the security hole of chasing symlinks inappropriately.
