[LTP] [PATCH STAGING v4 05/16] fchroot02: test fchroot() invalid arguments

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

Verify the fchroot() error paths: a non-zero flags argument fails with
EINVAL before anything else, an invalid fd fails with EBADF, including
the FD_PIDFS_ROOT and FD_NSFS_ROOT sentinels, and a fd referring to a
regular file fails with ENOTDIR. All these checks happen before the
CAP_SYS_CHROOT check, so no privileges are needed.
