[LTP] [PATCH 1/2] msgrcv07: Check negative msg type filters

It should leave higher message types on the queue if they are above
the specified type's magnitude.

Also check what happens when MSG_EXCEPT is passed with a negative msg
type. This behavior is unspecified, but presently the kernel ignores
the flag if the type is negative. The motivation to check this is long
handling in 32bit compat mode. If the msg type is not sign extended
then it will be treated as a large positive integer. In this case we
should receive the remaining message.

On the current kernel under x86 the test passes because the system
call has an explicit compat variant which performs the sign
extension. Otherwise it would fail.
