tst_brk(TCONF) in setup aborts ALL test cases. The second test case
(FAN_REPORT_PIDFD | FAN_REPORT_FID | FAN_REPORT_DFID_NAME expected to
succeed) is still valid on v7.2+ but will never run.

Should this be a per-test-case skip instead, so that only the EINVAL
case is skipped on v7.2+?

FAN_REPORT_PIDFD combined with FAN_REPORT_TID is a v7.2 feature and
v7.2 has not been released yet (latest stable is v7.1). Per LTP
convention, tests exercising unreleased kernel features need a
[STAGING] subject prefix and should go into runtest/staging until
the kernel release is finalized.

This applies to patches 4/5 and 5/5 which add FAN_REPORT_TID variant
coverage.

Verdict - Needs revision

Pre-existing issues (not introduced by this series):

- testcases/kernel/syscalls/fanotify/Makefile: per-target CFLAGS is
  placed before testcases.mk instead of between the two includes.
- testcases/kernel/syscalls/fanotify/fanotify21.c: `fanotify_fd` is
  initialized to 0 (implicit) and the cleanup guard uses `>= 0`
  instead of the LTP-conventional `-1` init + `!= -1` guard.
