[PATCH v3 2/2] linux-user: Fix openat() emulation to not modify atime |

Commit b8002058 strengthened openat()'s /proc detection by calling
realpath(3) on the given path, which allows various paths and symlinks
that points to the /proc file system to be intercepted correctly.
Using realpath(3), though, has a side effect that it reads the symlinks
along the way, and thus changes their atime. The results in the
following code snippet already get ~now instead of the real atime:
int fd = open("/path/to/a/symlink", O_PATH | O_NOFOLLOW);
struct stat st;
fstat(fd, st);
return st.st_atime;
This change opens a path that doesn't appear to be part of /proc
directly and checks the destination of /proc/self/fd/n to determine if
it actually refers to a file in /proc.
Neither this nor the existing code works with symlinks or indirect paths
(e.g. /tmp/../proc/self/exe) that points to /proc/self/exe because it
is itself a symlink, and both realpath(3) and /proc/self/fd/n will
resolve into the location of QEMU.
