[LTP] [PATCH 0/2] Fix for syscalls/utimensat01 test on Ubuntu 4.4 kernel

Ubuntu 4.4 kernel got the backported kernel patch (b3b4283) for
syscalls/utimensat01 since 4.4.0-48.69, therefore it will return
EPERM instead of EACCES.

Without this fix, the test will fail on Ubuntu 4.4 kernel with:
  FAIL: 18: utimensat() failed with incorrect error, expected EACCES: EPERM (1)
  FAIL: 19: utimensat() failed with incorrect error, expected EACCES: EPERM (1)

Also add support to get the distname for Ubuntu by using grep for
^ID=ubuntu from /etc/os-release in tst_kvcmp_distname()

There is no need to know the codename of the release, as we just need
distname UBUTNU and the detailed kernel version for tst_kvercmp2() to
compare the kernel version in syscalls/utimensat01.

  lib/tst_kvercmp: Add support to get distname for Ubuntu in
    tst_kvcmp_distname
  syscalls/utimensat01: add exception for Ubuntu 4.4 kernel
