Adhemerval Zanella 1bfbaf7130 linux: Consolidate fstatfs implementations
The __NR_fstatfs64 syscall is supported on all architectures but
aarch64, mips64, riscv64, and x86_64.  And newer ABIs also uses
the new fstatfs64 interface (where the struct size is used as
first argument).

So the default implementation now uses:

  1. __NR_fstatfs64 for non-LFS call and handle overflow directly
     There is no need to handle __NR_fstatfs since all architectures
     that only support are LFS only.

  2. __NR_fstatfs if defined or __NR_fstatfs64 otherwise for LFS
     call.

Alpha is the only outlier, it is a 64-bit architecture which
provides non-LFS interface and only provides __NR_fstatfs64 on
newer kernels (5.1+).

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.

This hierarchy supports Linux systems using the new
asm-generic/unistd.h, which removes many familiar old syscalls.  For
example, to implement open(), newer Linux architectures require glibc
to invoke the __NR_openat syscall with AT_FDCWD.  This hierarchy
provides all those implementations.

It also provides support for 32-bit platforms using the 64-bit kernel
syscall APIs, as the 32-bit ones are no longer provided.  Note that
newer ILP32 environments (x32 or AArch64:ILP32, for example) are
converting to use more 64-bit types in kernel syscalls, so that aspect
of this support is in more flux as of this writing.
