    improve [f]stat[v]fs functions, and possibly work around old kernels · 6567db65

    the main aim of this patch is to ensure that if not all fields are
    filled in, they contain zeros, so as not to confuse applications.
    reportedly some older kernels, including commonly used openvz kernels,
    lack the f_flags field, resulting in applications reading random junk
    as the mount flags; the common symptom seems to be wrongly considering
    the filesystem to be mounted read-only and refusing to operate. glibc
    has some amazingly ugly fallback code to get the mount flags for old
    kernels, but having them really is not that important anyway; what
    matters most is not presenting incorrect flags to the application.
    
    I have also aimed to fill in some fields of statvfs that were
    previously missing, and added code to explicitly zero the reserved
    space at the end of the structure, which will make things easier in
    the future if this space someday needs to be used.
