It seems this test has been broken for a long time unless I am
mistaken. glibc does not call the actual syscall, it calls
prlimit. Which has different behaviour (see below).

The actual syscall may not be equal to the prlimit AFAICT (this can be
tested using the prlimit command).

The table size can be set with a system wide sysctl /proc/sys/fs/nr_open
defined in fs/file_table.c. This is used to set the initial prlimit, but
can be reduced.

This could also fail with ENOMEM at least. Especially in a memcg and
arch with large page sizes if there are any page sized allocations.

Perhaps on some FS there would be other limits as well, resulting in a
different error, but you can ignore that for now if you want.

This tests the underlying file system to some extent, so we should test
all available file systems.
