statx: reject unknown flags when using NULL path

The statx() system call currently accepts unknown flags when called with
a NULL path to operate on a file descriptor.  Left unchanged, this could
make it hard to introduce new query flags in the future, since
applications may not be able to tell whether a given flag is supported.

Fix this by failing the system call with EINVAL if any flags other than
KSTAT_QUERY_FLAGS are specified in combination with a NULL path.

Arguably, we could still permit known lookup-related flags such as
AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW.  However, that would be inconsistent with how
sys_utimensat() behaves when passed a NULL path, which seems to be the
closest precedent.  And given that the NULL path case is (I believe)
mainly intended to be used to implement a wrapper function like fstatx()
that doesn't have a path argument, I think rejecting lookup-related
flags too is probably the best choice.
