* [PATCH container] fix #7667: prevent stale errno from breaking device passthrough

Since a successful stat() call does not reset $!, unconditionally
checking it afterward can cause a false error when $! was set earlier.

This causes device passthrough to always fail with "Device $path does
not exist" for privileged containers with an ostype that doesn't have a
matching config in /usr/share/lxc/config/<ostype>.common.conf.

Fix this by checking $! only when stat() actually fails. Also switch to
the $!{ENOENT} syntax, allowing the POSIX ENOENT import to be dropped.
