Looks like _IO_legacy_file makes sense only when &_IO_stdin_used == NULL.
If the check was moved inside _IO_legacy_file, then ...

... this would become
	if (_IO_legacy_file (fp)))

... this would save us from 3 extra checks for _IO_stdin_, _IO_stdout_,
and _IO_stderr_, and ...

... and this would become
	if (!_IO_legacy_file ((FILE *) fp))

Overall a bit cleaner and a bit less error-prone.
