Commit 76dca77f04 had a careless blunder, so this patch reverts it. Nevertheless, fstat(2) can be made more efficient on FIFOs, and I'm working on a separate patchset to do this right. It's worth doing, because every call to open(2) on a FIFO leads to a call chain
device_access_denied --> fhaccess --> fstat, and this is one of the cases where greater efficiency is possible.
