[LTP] [PATCH STAGING 11/16] fchroot08: test failfs root fork inheritance

From: Andrea Cervesato <[email protected]>

Verify that the root moved into failfs by fchroot() lives in the
fs_struct which is duplicated on fork, so a child of a process with
the failfs root also fails every absolute path lookup with
EOPNOTSUPP.
