Since fchmodat(2) on Linux doesn't support AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, we have to
implement it using workarounds. There are two different ways, depending on
whether the system supports O_PATH or not.

In the case O_PATH is supported, we rely on the behavhior of openat(2)
when passing O_NOFOLLOW | O_PATH and the file is a symbolic link. Even
if openat_file() already adds O_NOFOLLOW to the flags, this patch makes
it explicit that we need both creation flags to obtain the expected
behavior.

This is only cleanup, no functional change.
