Let's ensure struct statx exists before we try to use it. Checking for
the existence of linux/stat.h is not sufficient. This is because
[uapi/]linux/stat.h has existed since Linux 3.7, however struct statx
was only introduced with Linux 4.11.
The problem arises if one happens ot be using kernel headers from within
the aforementioned range, such as Linux 4.9.

Checking for the presence of struct statx explicitly avoids this
problem.
