This is hrev53917.
Currently there are no ability to retrieve path of file descriptor.
`_kern_entry_ref_to_path(dev, node, NULL, path, B_OS_NAME_LENGTH)` is only
work for directories.
All major OS are support this feature:
* Windows: `GetFileInformationByHandleEx` with `FileNameInfo`.
* Linux: Path can be retrieved from `/proc/self/fd/<fd>`.
* Mac OS X: `fcntl(fd, F_GETPATH, filePath)`.
