[PATCH] tail: fix determination of remoteness without inotify

[Pádraig Brady]

In recent commit v8.25-93-g7fc7206 we used the f-remote flag
which wasn't set in all cases.  This was detected with
ASAN giving this error when reading f->remote;
  runtime error: load of value 190,
  which is not a valid value for type '_Bool'

* src/tail.c (fremote): Query the system even without inotify.
(recheck): Always set f->fremote for valid files.
