[LTP] [PATCH v2 1/3] lib: add function to check for kernel lockdown

Some syscalls are not available if the kernel is booted using the
'lockdown' feature. That can cause some tests to report fail, showing
a message like:

  Lockdown: iopl01: iopl is restricted; see man kernel_lockdown.7

This patch adds a function that can be used by tests to check for this
case, so it can be handled accordingly.

v2:
- just return the lockdown status so tests can handle as needed, instead
  of just always skipping the test.
- handle fgets return value to avoid compiler warning (can't return any
  sensible value so I just ported what I have seen in other similar
  cases).
