This was an oversight in the original implementation, as it makes no

RESOLVE_IN_ROOT being ignored).

This is a userspace-visible ABI change, but the only user of openat2(2)
at the moment is LXC which doesn't specify both flags and so no
userspace programs will break as a result.

You are combining fs change with selftest change.

Is there a reason why these two changes are combined?
2 separate patches is better.
