[PATCH 0/1] Fix fstat on FIFOs, part 1

Commit 76dca77f04 had a careless blunder, so this patch reverts it.

Nevertheless, fstat(2) can be made more efficient on FIFOs, and I'm
working on a separate patchset to do this right.  It's worth doing,
because every call to open(2) on a FIFO leads to a call chain

  device_access_denied --> fhaccess --> fstat,

and this is one of the cases where greater efficiency is possible.

    get_file_attribute"
