    hurd: Fix readlink() hanging on fifo
    
    readlink() opens the target with O_READ to be able to read the symlink
    content. When the target is actually a fifo, that would hang waiting for a
    writer (caught in the coreutils testsuite). We thus have to first lookup the
    target without O_READ to perform io_stat and lookout for fifos, and only
    after checking the symlink type, we can re-lookup with O_READ.
