[LTP] [PATCH STAGING v4 10/16] fchroot07: test execve blocked by failfs root

[Andrea Cervesato]

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

Verify that after fchroot() moved the root into failfs, loading a
binary by absolute path fails with EOPNOTSUPP. The exec runs in a
grandchild so a wrongly successful exec is still detected through
the exit code.
