lstat/stat/fstat: Use 64bit version of syscall if available
This is needed for stat'ing loop devices > 255 since otherwise kernel returns EOVERFLOW becasue it needs st_rdev/st_dev to be larger than 16bits but in kernel it uses __old_kernel_stat for stat syscall which has st_rdev/st_dev as unsigned short Add a testcase Signed-off-by: Khem Raj <raj.khem@gmail.com>
