Upstream commit 78f0e33cd6c9 ("fs/namespace: correctly handle errors
returned by grab_requested_mnt_ns") changed the errno from EINVAL to
EBADF when an invalid mount namespace file descriptor is passed to
listmount(). This change has been backported to various stable kernels
(e.g., 6.12.59 LTS).
Instead of hardcoding version checks for every stable backport, probe
the behavior dynamically in setup() by calling listmount() with an
invalid fd (-1) and checking the returned errno.

I wonder if we should use listmount() from listmount.h.

Maybe we could have TST_EXP_FAIL_ARR_SILENT_BRK() in the future :)

At this point we may rename macros back to AFTER_6_18 and BEFORE_6_18, with
keeping note that it got backported into stable.

This is IMHO not supported, because it's part of tst_syscall().
Other than this LGTM.
