[LTP] [PATCH STAGING 16/16] fchroot13: test failfs entry when chrooted

[Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.de>]

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

Verify that unprivileged fchroot() into failfs is refused when the
process is already chrooted: moving the root of a chrooted task into
failfs would allow it to escape its chroot via openat(fd, "..") with
a pre-opened directory fd, so the kernel refuses the syscall with
EPERM.
