Michael Kerrisk c031ffcc56 statx.2: Clarify details of a case where an invalid 'mask' value may be rejected 
As reported by Simone:

    I was looking at version from 2017-09-15 but it's the same
    on: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/statx.2.html
    (2019-03-06)

    There is reported (about the mask argument) after the list
    of constants:

    > Note that the kernel does not reject values in mask other
    > than the above.  Instead, it simply informs the caller which
    > values are sup‐ ported by this kernel and filesystem via the
    > statx.stx_mask field.

    But as reported in the error values, there can be EINVAL if
    mask has a reserved valued, and I found a check against
    STATX__RESERVED in fs/stat.c for this. So if you use a that
    bit (0x80000000U) the kernel will reject the value.

    Probably is better to say that the kernel do not enforce the
    use of only the listed values, but there are anyway reserved
    values so and so you cannot put whatever you want on mask
    (that apply to more values than UINT_MAX).

README 

This package contains Linux man pages for sections 1 through 8.  Some
more information is given in the 'man-pages-x.y.Announce' file.

Installing and uninstalling
===========================
"make install" will copy these man pages to /usr/share/man/man[1-8].

To install to a path different from /usr, use
"make install prefix=/install/path".

"make remove" or "make uninstall" will remove any man page in this
distribution from its destination.  Use with caution, and remember to
use "prefix" if desired, as with the "install" target.

"make" or "make all" will perform "make uninstall" followed by "make
install".

Man page overlap and duplication
================================
Note that sometimes these pages are duplicates of pages also distributed
in other packages.  This has been reported about:
