So the goal in 6 is to not return stat but glfs_stat in the modified
pre/post stat return APIs (instead of making this a 2-step for
application consumers).

To reach glfs_stat everywhere, we have a few more things to do. I had
this patch in my radar, but just like pub_glfs_stat returns stat (hence
we made glfs_statx as private), I am seeing this as "fine for now". In
the future we only want to return glfs_stat.

So for now, we let this API be. The next round of converting stat to
glfs_stat would take into account clearing up all such instances. So
that all application consumers will need to modify code as required in
one shot.

Does this answer the concern? and, thanks for bringing this to notice.
