[LTP] [PATCH STAGING 14/16] fchroot11: test failfs entry with no_new_privs

[Andrea Cervesato]

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

Verify that an unprivileged process may enter failfs when it
committed to no_new_privs, since setuid binaries then pose no
confused deputy risk anymore. The test also verifies that a process
which entered failfs counts as chrooted: it can no longer create a
user namespace with unshare() to regain CAP_SYS_CHROOT.
