FUSE attempts to detect server support for statx by trying it once and
setting no_statx=1 if it fails with ENOSYS, but consider the following
scenario:

- Userspace (e.g. sh) calls stat() on a file
  * succeeds
- Userspace (e.g. lsd) calls statx(BTIME) on the same file
  - request_mask = STATX_BASIC_STATS | STATX_BTIME
  - first pass: sync=true due to differing cache_mask
  - statx fails and returns ENOSYS
  - set no_statx and retry
  - retry sets mask = STATX_BASIC_STATS
  - now mask == cache_mask; sync=false (time_before: still valid)
  - so we take the "else if (stat)" path
  - "err" is still ENOSYS from the failed statx call

Fix this by zeroing "err" before retrying the failed call.
