Clean backport to improve compatibility with JDK 21 versions which didn't support birth time. I.e. on those systems now last-modified-time is being returned when the `statx` syscall didn't fill in the birth time (is not supported for this filesystem). Proposing as a critical fix so as to get it into 21.0.5.

CSR for 21-pool and 17-pool is the same as for JDK head, but would need a review before I can submit it. If anyone is willing to review it, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
