[LTP] [PATCH v3 1/1] [STAGING] ioctl_pidfd06: Select expected errno for PIDFD_GET_INFO across pidns

[LTP] [PATCH v3 1/1] [STAGING] ioctl_pidfd06: Select expected errno for PIDFD_GET_INFO across pidns

[Jan Polensky]

PIDFD_GET_INFO semantics changed for pidfds referring to tasks without a PID
in the caller's current pid namespace (commit ab89060fbc92e ("pidfs: return
-EREMOTE when PIDFD_GET_INFO is called on another ns")).

Select the expected errno based on the running kernel version to keep the
test working on kernels before and after the change, while being strict on
newer kernels to avoid accepting the legacy errno by accident.
