[PATCH] selftests/landlock: Skip scoped_signal subtest with MSG_OOB if not available

[PATCH] selftests/landlock: Skip scoped_signal subtest with MSG_OOB if not available

[Thomas Huth]

From: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>

MSG_OOB might be disabled in the kernel for unix sockets (by not
selecting CONFIG_AF_UNIX_OOB), and in this case the related tests
of the scoped_signal_test are currently failing.  Add a runtime
probe using socketpair() to detect MSG_OOB support and skip the
test gracefully if it is unavailable.

Applied (with a Fixes tag), thanks!
