[LTP] [PATCH v2] syscalls/madvise11: Ignore unpoison failure under kernel lockdown

When newer kernels are under lockdown, the unpoison-pfn sysfile
still appears writable to root but open() will always return EPERM.
This causes madvise11 to fail with TWARN during cleanup when run
with SecureBoot enabled.

Ignore the open(unpoison-pfn) failure due to lockdown and exit
successfully without cleanup. The test should not be skipped because
the leftover soft-offlined pages can trigger failures in later tests
and indirectly expose kernel bugs in hwpoison.
