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.

Check for close(2) failure at more places closing a file descriptor
written to.
Also ignore failures with errno set to EINTR (see man:close(2) for
details).

Also reduce indentation by bailing out early.

asprintf(3) is non-standard, but is provided by GNU, the BSDs, and musl.
That makes it portable enough for us to use.
This function is much simpler than the burdensome code for allocating
the right size. Being simpler, it's thus safer.
I took the opportunity to fix the style to my preferred one in the
definitions of variables used in these calls, and also in the calls to
free(3) with these pointers. That isn't gratuituous, but has a reason:
it makes those appear in the diff for this patch, which helps review it.
Oh, well, I had an excuse :)
