[LTP] [PATCH 3/3] syscalls/preadv202: Add new testcase

[Xiao Yang]

Hi Jan,

preadv202 has used tst_get_bad_addr() instead of the hardcoded -1 to 
test  EFAULT, so is it
necessary to test EFAULT on s390 by truncating file as commit 856383c 
does?  Perhaps, we
can remove the truncation if it is unnecessary.   Sorry, i don't have 
s390 to confirm it.

Best Regards,
Xiao Yang
