I would much rather see an AIX solution that was in the AIX version of
`os::dll_load` rather than having to pollute the shared JVMTI code. I'm not
sure how best to achieve that - it may not be possible to hide it completely -
but we should be able to refactor things so `stat64x_LIBPATH` is defined in AIX
code, and its use is via a helper so the code is only written once. Then we
would only need a handful of `AIX_ONLY(...)` statements.

Style nit: we don't use implicit booleans so check `device != 0` and `inode !=
0` explicitly please.
