Subject: [PATCH v3] checksyscalls: Ignore fstat to silence build warning on LoongArch

fstat is replaced by statx on the new architecture, so an exception
is added to the checksyscalls script to silence the following build
warning on LoongArch:

  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
<stdin>:569:2: warning: #warning syscall fstat not implemented [-Wcpp]
