[LTP] [PATCH] landlock04: Fix false TFAIL in _test_truncate() deny path

From: Avinesh Kumar <avinesh.kumar@suse.com>

commit 8643b01a68cf converted an intentionally-unchecked open() call
(used only to get an fd for the ftruncate() sub-test) into
TST_EXP_FD_OR_FAIL(), wrongly asserting it must fail with EACCES on
the deny path. Its outcome depends on other granted rights and isn't
guaranteed, causing a false TFAIL when it succeeded.

landlock_tester.h:257: TFAIL: open(FILE_TRUNCATE, O_WRONLY, PERM_MODE) invalid retval 4: SUCCESS (0)

Restore the unchecked open() on the deny path, keep SAFE_OPEN() on the
pass path. Also fix SAFE_CLOSE(TST_RET) to SAFE_CLOSE(fd) for consistency.

Fixes: 8643b01a68cf ("tree: Use TST_EXP_PASS_OR_FAIL() and TST_EXP_FD_OR_FAIL()")
