[$] Making O_TMPFILE atomic (and statx() additions)

Right on the heels of his previous filesystem
session at the 2022 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-management and BPF Summit (LSFMM), Steve French led a session on temporary files and their interaction with network filesystems. The problem is that creating temporary files is not always atomic, so he was proposing changing that, which would eliminate a possible race condition and be more efficient for network filesystems. Since the temporary-file discussion did not fill the 30-minute slot, however, French took the opportunity to discuss some attributes he would like to see get added for the statx() system call.
