From: Enrico Scholz <enrico.sch...@sigma-chemnitz.de>

Calling 'useradd' through pseudo on (at least) Ubuntu 20 creates
filesystem objects (.bashrc, .profile) with invalid attributes.  It
manifests as

| tar: ./home/.../.bashrc: Unknown file type; file ignored

or

| Copying files into the device: __populate_fs: ignoring entry ".bashrc"
| .bashrc: File not found by ext2_lookup while looking up ".bashrc"

when building the image.

This happens due to a bug in shadow which is caused by clobbering
fstatat() results.

+Subject: [PATCH] lib/copydir:copy_entry(): use temporary stat buffer
+
+There are no guarantees that fstatat() does not clobber the stat
+buffer on errors.
+
+Use a temporary buffer so that the following code sees correct
+attributes of the source entry.
