[LTP] [PATCH] syscall02: test invalid syscall number -1

[Andrea Cervesato]

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

Add a test verifying that a raw syscall() with the reserved number -1
fails with ENOSYS. The behavior is architecture specific, so the test is
limited to the architectures where it was checked against kernel code.
