xz: O_SEARCH cannot be used for fsync() 

Opening a directory with O_SEARCH results in a file descriptor that can
be used with functions like openat(). Such a file descriptor cannot be
used with fsync(). Use O_RDONLY instead.

In musl, O_SEARCH becomes Linux-specific O_PATH. A file descriptor
from O_PATH doesn't allow fsync().

Seems that it's not possible to fsync() a directory that has write
and search permissions but not read permission.
