This was always the intended behaviour but commit 72fbb34 ("rootfs: switch to fd-based handling of mountpoint targets") regressed it when adding a mechanism to create a file handle to the target if it didn't already exist (causing the later stat to always succeed). A lot of people depend on this functionality, so add some tests to make sure we don't break it in the future.

Backport of #4973.
(Draft until merged.)This was always the intended behaviour but commit 72fbb34 ("rootfs:
switch to fd-based handling of mountpoint targets") regressed it when
adding a mechanism to create a file handle to the target if it didn't
already exist (causing the later stat to always succeed).
A lot of people depend on this functionality, so add some tests to make
sure we don't break it in the future.
Fixes #4971
