[LTP] [PATCH v3 3/3] safe_semctl: Fix undefined behaviour in vararg handling

Accessing elements in an empty va_list is undefined behaviour.
The semctl system call expects the union semun argument only for a
set of cmd values, otherwise the argument is ignored.
Modify the safe_semctl wrapper to read the variadic argument only when
it's expected to be provided.
