======================================================================

Description of problem:
NetApp snapshots feature may include symbolic links to NFS share which points to the same directory. This causes getFileStats to fail.

Example:
/rhev/data-center/mnt/<mountPoint>/.snapshot/daily.2018-02-20_0010 -> /rhev/data-center/mnt/<mountPoint>/<SD_UUID>/images/11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111/

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
   python-ioprocess-0.16.1-1.el7ev.noarch
   ioprocess-0.16.1-1.el7ev.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to NFS ISO domain and create a recursive symbolic link.

     # pwd
       /rhev/data-center/mnt/10.34.1.195:_exports_rheviso01/c217bcfa-ffba-4982-b2c3-4ed418a0cd1d/images/11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111
     # ln -s ../ testLink

2. Try to get the list of isos in the WebAdmin


Actual results:

  File "/usr/share/vdsm/storage/task.py", line 1185, in prepare
    raise self.error

Expected results:
The symbolic link is skipped.

Additional info:
ioprocess tries to skip the symlinks:

def simpleWalk(ioproc, path):
    files = []
    for f in ioproc.listdir(path):
        fullpath = os.path.join(path, f)
        osPath = _IOProcessOs(ioproc).path
        if osPath.isdir(fullpath) and not osPath.islink(fullpath):
            files.extend(simpleWalk(ioproc, fullpath))
        else:
            files.append(fullpath)

    return files

The problem is that the islink function uses "stat" function from ioprocess c library which does use a stat from sys/stat.h which returns information about the target not about the link itself. So lstat function should be used instead.
