@rolandshoemaker requested issue #52745 to be considered for backport to the next 1.22 minor release.

@gopherbot please open backport issues for this, it's a security hardening issue which fixes a long running TOCTOU race.

[release-branch.go1.22] os: RemoveAll: fix symlink race for unix
7456575 
Since all the platforms now support O_DIRECTORY flag for open, it can be
used to (together with O_NOFOLLOW) to ensure we open a directory, thus
eliminating the need to call stat before open. This fixes the symlink race,
when a directory is replaced by a symlink in between stat and open calls.

While at it, rename openFdAt to openDirAt, because this function is (and was)
meant for directories only.

NOTE Solaris supports O_DIRECTORY since before Solaris 11 (which is the
only version Go supports since supported version now), and Illumos
always had it. The only missing piece was O_DIRECTORY flag value, which
is taken from golang.org/x/sys/unix.

Fixes #67696.
