[issue9206] os.stat() is broken

[Alexander Belopolsky]

New submission from Alexander Belopolsky <belopolsky at users.sourceforge.net>:

Most likely the same underlying problem as in issue 9202, but can be seen on a non-windows platform.

>>> from os import *
>>> stat('/')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
SystemError: NULL result without error in PyObject_Call

With attached patch, the error message is clearer:

>>> stat('.')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: In structseq_repr()  member 15 name is NULL
