We have to keep the PIDFD_INFO_EXIT in the mask, otherwise it will never
be set back by the kernel.

If we do not pass the PIDFD_INFO_EXIT above we will end up with ESRCH
here all the time.
Generally I do not like this code that much, since we depend on the fact
that we get ESCHR from the syscall if PIDFD_INFO_EXIT is not
implemented. Without the PIDFD_INFO_EXIT flag the pidfd_info() syscall
is supposed to work on a process before it's waited for and
PIDFD_INFO_EXIT does not work before the process is waited for, mixing
these two checks is a bit ugly.
