[LTP] [PATCH] Correctly check if PIDFD_INFO_EXIT is available

From: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>

When systems are not having the PIDFD_INFO_EXIT implementation,
ioctl_pidfd testing suite might fail with:

	ioctl_pidfd.h:32: TBROK: ioctl(...) failed: ENOTTY (25)

Fix the ioctl_pidfd_info_exit_supported() behavior, considering ENOTTY
error like a sign for not having PIDFD_INFO_EXIT implemented in the
system.
