[PATCH -V18 06/13] vfs: Support null pathname in faccessat

["Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

This enables to use faccessat to get the access check details
from a file descriptor pointing to the file. This can be used
with open_by_handle syscall that returns a file descriptor.
