xattr-util: try new *xattrat() family syscalls first
Added in https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/6140be90ec70c39fa844741ca3cc807dd0866394 However, when O_PATH fds are encountered we'd have to go by /proc/self/fd/ still, since the kernel people are reluctant to make the new syscalls work with them (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20250206-steril-raumplanung-733224062432@brauner/) Hence getxattrat() and listxattrat() are not employed. While at it, remove the discrepancy between path being NULL and empty - I don't grok the "security issue" claimed earlier, but nowadays even the kernel treats the two as identical: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/e896474fe4851ffc4dd860c92daa906783090346
