[PATCH v2] io: fix ftw ABI on MIPS n64

On MIPS n64 off_t is same as off64_t, but struct stat is not same as
struct stat64 (very peculiar but see the "as tempting as it..." comment
in linux/mips/kernel_stat.h).  As the ftw/ftw64 callback accepts a
pointer to a function who accepts struct stat/stat64, for MIPS n64 we
must use different implementations for ftw and ftw64.

Thus for testing if ftw64 can be aliased to ftw, we should check
XSTAT_IS_XSTAT64 instead of __OFF_T_MATCHES_OFF64_T.

This resolves the io/tst-ftw-lnk failure observed on MIPS n64.

Tested on x86_64-linux and mips64-linux.  No new failures were found,
and the aliasing of ftw ftw64 is as expected.  On x86_64:

$ objdump -t libc.so.6 | grep ' ftw(64)?$' -E
00000000001094e0  w    F .text	000000000000000f              ftw
00000000001094e0  w    F .text	000000000000000f              ftw64

On mips64:
$ objdump -t libc.so.6 | grep ' ftw(64)?$' -E
000000000013a908 g     F .text	0000000000000028              ftw
000000000013bff0  w    F .text	0000000000000028              ftw64
