In some configurations we implement sys_utimensat() via a wrapper that calls either futimens() or utimensat(), depending on the arguments (to handle a case where the Linux syscall API diverges from the glibc API). Fix a corner case in this handling: if the syscall is passed a NULL pathname and dirfd == AT_FDCWD, then it must fail with EFAULT. We can't handle this by passing it to glibc utimensat() because at the libc level a NULL pathname is failed with EINVAL, and we can't handle it by passing to futimens() because that would fail with EBADF. So special case it and return EFAULT directly from the wrapper.
This means that if the guest calls utimes() with a NULL pathname and guest glibc converts that into a syscall utimensat(AT_FDCWD, NULL, ...) then we correctly fail it with EFAULT.
