These aren't the same. For relative paths, fstatat takes it as relative 
to the directory indicated by 'fd', whereas lstat takes it as relative 
to the current working directory. Also, fstatat goes through symlinks by 
default, whereas lstat doesn't (not likely to be an issue for '..', but 
technically different nonetheless).
