I created #10540 for this issue, but the patch I have on there is just a bad
hack. I need to fix os.path.samefile for hard links, which might be easier
if we keep st_ino data in stat structures on Windows.

MSDN says,

In the NTFS file system, a file keeps the same file ID until it is deleted.

Hard link can be live in NTFS only, so maybe we can say st_ino data is
valid until hard links are established.
