[LTP] [PATCH v2 1/2] syscalls/pidfd_open01.c: Add check for close-on-exec flag

Hi Cyril, Petr

For the patch set, I and Viresh have the following doubts so do you have 
any suggestion about them?
1) I keep TEST() in pidfd_open01/pidfd_open03 for now but I think it is
    surplus because pidfd/fd and TERRNO are enough to check return value
    and errno.
    I wonder if it is necessary to keep TEST()?
2) tst_syscall() is enough to check the support of pidfd_open() and I
    don't want to define check function as fsopen_supported_by_kernel()
    does.
    Do you think so?

BTW:
I don't like the implementation of fsopen_supported_by_kernel():
a) syscall()/tst_syscall() is enough to check the support of
pidfd_open(2) and 'tst_kvercmp(5, 2, 0)) < 0' will skip the check if
a kernel on distribution is newer than v5.2 but drop the support of
pidfd_open(2) on purpose.
b) tst_syscall() has checked ENOSYS error so we can simple
fsopen_supported_by_kernel() by replacing syscall() with tst_syscalls().

Best Regards,
Xiao Yang
