[LTP] [PATCH STAGING v3 06/15] fchroot03: test fchroot() permission checks

[Andrea Cervesato]

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

Verify that with a regular directory fd the kernel first checks the
execute permission on the directory and then CAP_SYS_CHROOT: an
unprivileged process with an accessible directory fails with EPERM and
a process without execute permission fails with EACCES.
