[PATCH v3] path: Fix a sparse warning

On MinGW, sparse issues an "'get_st_mode_bits' not declared. Should it be static?" warning. The MinGW and MSVC builds do not see the declaration of this function, within git-compat-util.h, due to its placement within an preprocessor conditional.

In order to suppress the warning, we simply move the declaration to the top level of the header.

Hi Junio,

As promised, this fixes the build on cygwin. (tested on cygwin and MinGW. I have not tested on Linux, because I would have to re-boot twice, and I wanted to send this out tonight).

Again, sorry for breaking the build.

ATB, Ramsay Jones
