[LTP] [PATCH v5 0/5] Add fchmodat2 testing suite

This is a patch-set that implements fchmodat2() syscall coverage.
fchmodat2() has been added in kernel 6.6 in order to support
AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW and AT_EMPTY_PATH in fchmodat().
There's no man pages yet, so please take the following links as
main documentation along with kernel source code:

https://www.phoronix.com/news/fchmodat2-For-Linux-6.6
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230824-frohlocken-vorabend-725f6fdaad50@brauner/

***********
* WARNING *
***********

fchmodat2_02 fails with EOPNOTSUPP because of missing feature.
According to documentation, the feature has been implemented in
kernel 6.6, but __in reality__ AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW is not working
on symbolic files. Also kselftests, which are meant to test the
functionality, are not working and they are treating fchmodat2()
syscall failure as SKIP. Please take a look at the following code
before reviewing:
