The local_lgetxattr() callback is vulnerable to symlink attacks because
it calls lgetxattr() which follows symbolic links in all path elements but
the rightmost one.
This patch introduces a helper to emulate the non-existing fgetxattrat()
function: it is implemented with /proc/self/fd which provides a trusted
path that can be safely passed to lgetxattr().
local_lgetxattr() is converted to use this helper and opendir_nofollow().
This partly fixes CVE-2016-9602.
