[LTP] [PATCH v2 1/2] fanotify: fix crash when running multiple iterations

[AnonymeMeow]

This commit fixes ./fanotify13 -i10 crash by restoring the deleted objects
every time a test finishes.

This commit also fixes ./fanotify21 -i10 crash by remounting the read-only
mount (if the mount is remounted read-only during the test) back to
read-write every time a test finishes.

Thank you for pointing this out, I will be more mindful the next time
(this time).

Thanks for testing my patch, I didn't know that the standalone test binary
supports the -i option to specify the number of iterations. Running
multiple iterations through kirk's -i option seems to work fine.

I then tested all fanotify tests with the -i option and found that
fanotify13 also crashed when running multiple iterations. I fixed both
fanotify13 and fanotify21 in this patch. So now all fanotify tests pass
with the -i option.

With Best Regards,
