[LTP] [PATCH] fork/fork05: replace assembly block with ltp_syscall()

[Greg Hackmann]

When an x86 kernel is built with CONFIG_MODIFY_LTP_SYSCALL=n, the
modify_ltp syscall fails with ENOSYS and fork05 crashes.

Reimplementing modify_ldt() using ltp_syscall(__NR_modify_ldt) causes
fork05 to gracefully exit with TCONF instead.  Plus it's arguably much
clearer than a hard-coded int 0x80 call in assembly.
