The new syscall statx is implemented as generic code, so enable it
for architectures like openrisc which use the generic syscall table.

Fixes: a528d35e8bfcc ("statx: Add a system call to make enhanced file info available")

Out of interest, anybody know OTOH which other stat syscalls statx
supersedes (such that they could at some point be disabled by default
in asm-generic for new arches, and implemented in userspace)?
