[LTP] [PATCH v2] ioctl_pidfd05: accept both EINVAL and ENOTTY as valid errors

Newer kernels (since ~v6.18-rc1) 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.
