[OE-core] [zeus][PATCH] nfs-utils: Disable statx if using glibc emulation

nfs-utils 2.4.1, moves from "stat" to "statx
with AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC" in parts of the code.

statx is supported in Linux kernel v4.11 and above.
For all older kernels glibc emulates statx, and it
doesn't support AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC and will return
EINVAL.

When server uses nfs-utils 2.4.1 on kernel v4.10
and older, mount.nfs4 would fail with error
"reason given by server: No such file or directory".

Since Linux v4.4 and v4.9 are LTS, its more likely
that people would use above combination.

This issue has been fixed in nfs-utils 2.4.3 and
above. Backporting fix to 2.4.1.

+Subject: [PATCH] Disable statx if using glibc emulation
+
+On older kernels without statx, glibc with statx support will attempt
+to emulate the call. However it doesn't support AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC and
+will return EINVAL. This causes all xstat/xlstat calls to fail.
+
+Upstream Status: Backport
