Please add 2 to the manpage link.
:manpage:epoll_create(2)
Without it it's not working (plain text instead of link).
Can be changed before merge.

How many files are created is done via `ulimit -n`, right? (not sure if there
is file for it in /proc/sys).
Would it be worth we check that? Or at least check that at least 2 files were
opened? Maybe this check should be rather put into dup03.c.
Or maybe to print how many descriptors was created?
tst_res(TINFO, "Created %d file descriptors", nfds);

Otherwise LGTM.
