Hmm, but it looks like statx already suffers the same performance issue.
And in this libc-alpha discussion Linus said:

   If the user asked for 'fstat()', just give the user 'fstat()'.
   
So to me we should just add fstat (and use it in Glibc for LoongArch, only
falling back to statx if fstat returns -ENOSYS), or am I missing something?
