Add tests to assert that PIDFD_SELF_* correctly refers to the current

This is only practically meaningful to pidfd_send_signal() and
pidfd_getfd(), but also explicitly test that we disallow this feature for
setns() where it would make no sense.

We cannot reasonably wait on ourself using waitid(P_PIDFD, ...) so while in
theory PIDFD_SELF_* would work here, we'd be left blocked if we tried it.

We defer testing of mm-specific functionality which uses pidfd, namely
process_madvise() and process_mrelease() to mm testing (though note the
latter can not be sensibly tested as it would require the testing process
to be dying).

Can't we pick these up from linux/pidfd.h - patch 2/3 adds
them.

We're running this file in userland and it's not obvious we can correctly
import this header, it'd be some "../../" thing out of the testing root
directory and might not interact well with all scenarios in which this file
is built.

Also the existing tests do not seem to try to import that header, so it
seemed the safest way of doing this.


kselftest has dependency on "make headers" and tests include
headers from linux/ directory

These local make it difficult to maintain these tests in the
longer term. Somebody has to go clean these up later.

The import will be fine and you can control that with -I flag in
the makefile. Remove these and try to get including linux/pidfd.h
working.

I see your v2 and v3. Please revise this patch to include the
header file and remove these local defines.

thanks,
