[LTP] [PATCH v2 16/33] keyctl24: Negative tests for KEYCTL_RESTRICT_KEYRING

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

Test error conditions of KEYCTL_RESTRICT_KEYRING using a parameterized
tcase table: invalid type/restriction combinations (EINVAL), non-keyrings
(ENOTDIR), unknown key type (ENOKEY), key type without lookup (ENOENT),
invalid restriction string (EINVAL), bogus key serial (ENOKEY), already
restricted (EEXIST), self-chain cycle (EDEADLK), and missing Setattr
(EACCES).
