Currently do_lstat always sets errno to 0 on success. This incorrectly
overwrites previous errors.

Fetch the error-code into a temporary variable instead, and assign that
to errno on failure.

A bug I found while hunting down another regression. maint-worthy, perhaps?

I would say so, as long as the error return from get_file_attr() is
trustworthy.

It looks trustworthy to me; it returns 0 if GetFileAttributesExA
succeeds, and either EACCES, ENAMETOOLONG, ENOMEM or ENOENT based on
the result of GetLastError().
