[LTP] [PATCH v2 09/33] keyctl17: Negative tests for KEYCTL_GET_SECURITY

From: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>
Test error conditions of KEYCTL_GET_SECURITY using a parameterized
tcase table: verify ENOKEY on a bogus key id and ENOKEY when View
permission is missing (due to the kernel request-key auth token
fallback path).
