[LTP] [PATCH] ioctl_pidfd05: accept both EINVAL and ENOTTY as valid errors

Latest kernels return ENOTTY instead of EINVAL when invoking
ioctl(pidfd, PIDFD_GET_INFO_SHORT, info_invalid). Update the test to
accept both EINVAL and ENOTTY as valid errors to ensure compatibility
across different kernel versions.
