[PATCH 3/3] lutimesat: actual syscall and wire-up on i386

[Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@openvz.org>]

lutimesat(2) does everything futimesat(2) does except it doesn't follow
symlinks.

It could be used by tar(1) and cp(1).

FreeBSD and NetBSD have lutimes(2) which can be emulated by C library:

	lutimesat(AT_FDCWD, filename, utimes)

Closes http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4433
