    hurd: Fix readlink() hanging on fifo

    readlink() opens the target with O_READ to be able to read the symlink
    content. When the target is actually a fifo, that would hang waiting for a
    writer (caught in the coreutils testsuite). We thus have to first lookup the
    target without O_READ to perform io_stat and lookout for fifos, and only
    after checking the symlink type, we can re-lookup with O_READ.

    hurd: Make readlink* just reopen the file used for stat

    9e5c991106cb ("hurd: Fix readlink() hanging on fifo") separated opening
    the file for the stat call from opening the file for the read call. That
    however opened a small window for the file to change. Better make this
    atomic by reopening the file with O_READ.
