[PATCH RFC v3 2/2] selftests/pidfd: add inode ownership and permission tests

[Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>]

Test the pidfs inode ownership reporting (via fstat) and the permission
model (via user.* xattr operations that trigger pidfs_permission()):

Ownership tests:
- owner_self: own pidfd reports caller's euid/egid
- owner_child: child pidfd reports correct ownership
- owner_child_changed_euid: ownership tracks live credential changes
- owner_exited_child: ownership persists after exit and reap
- owner_exited_child_changed_euid: exit_cred preserves changed credentials

Permission tests:
- permission_same_user: same-user xattr access succeeds (EOPNOTSUPP)
- permission_different_user_denied: cross-user access denied (EPERM)
- permission_kthread: kernel thread access always denied (EPERM)

The user.* xattr namespace is used to exercise pidfs_permission() from
userspace: xattr_permission() calls inode_permission() for user.* on
S_IFREG inodes, so fgetxattr() returns EOPNOTSUPP when permission is
granted (no handler) and EPERM when denied.

Tests requiring root skip gracefully via SKIP().
