Create a test for the robust list mechanism. Test the following uAPI
operations:
- Creating a robust mutex where the lock waiter is wake by the kernel
when the lock owner died
- Setting a robust list to the current task
- Getting a robust list from the current task
- Getting a robust list from another task
- Using the list_op_pending field from robust_list_head struct to test
robustness when the lock owner dies before completing the locking
- Setting a invalid size for syscall argument `len`

Changes from v2:
- Dropped kselftest_harness include, using just futex test API
- This is the expected output:
TAP version 13
1..6
ok 1 test_robustness
ok 2 test_set_robust_list_invalid_size
ok 3 test_get_robust_list_self
ok 4 test_get_robust_list_child
ok 5 test_set_list_op_pending
ok 6 test_robust_list_multiple_elements
# Totals: pass:6 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
Changes from v1:
- Change futex type from int to _Atomic(unsigned int)
- Use old futex(FUTEX_WAIT) instead of the new sys_futex_wait()

+ *
+ * Robust list test by André Almeida <andrealmeid@xxxxxxxxxx>
+ *
+ * The robust list uAPI allows userspace to create "robust" locks, in the sense
+ * that if the lock holder thread dies, the remaining threads that are waiting
+ * for the lock won't block forever, waiting for a lock that will never be
+ * released.
+ *
+ * This is achieve by userspace setting a list where a thread can enter all the
+ * locks (futexes) that it is holding. The robust list is a linked list, and
+ * userspace register the start of the list with the syscall set_robust_list().
+ * If such thread eventually dies, the kernel will walk this list, waking up one
+ * thread waiting for each futex and marking the futex word with the flag
+ * FUTEX_OWNER_DIED.
+ *
+ * See also
+ * man set_robust_list
+ * Documententation/locking/robust-futex-ABI.rst
