The openat2_test.c code previously hardcoded O_LARGEFILE to 0x8000 on
all architectures other than arm64 (aarch64).
However, on several architectures this value is different. For example,
on PowerPC (including ppc64le), O_LARGEFILE is defined as 0x10000,
whereas 0x8000 is actually O_NOFOLLOW.
This mismatch caused the flag_validation test case to pass
O_PATH | O_NOFOLLOW instead of O_PATH | O_LARGEFILE. Since
O_PATH | O_NOFOLLOW is a valid and compatible flag combination, the
kernel successfully opened the file instead of failing with -EINVAL,
causing a false test failure on PowerPC.
Fix this by introducing proper architecture-specific definitions for
O_LARGEFILE matching their respective UAPI asm/fcntl.h values.

* [PATCH 2/2] selftests/filesystems/openat2: make /tmp a mountpoint inside private namespace

In resolve_test.c, the test unshares the mount namespace and attempts to
make /tmp private via:
mount("", "/tmp", "", MS_PRIVATE, "")
This fails with EINVAL on environments where /tmp is not already a
separate mount point (e.g. if /tmp is just a standard directory on the
root filesystem /). Furthermore, the resolve_no_xdev test relies on
crossing into /tmp to verify RESOLVE_NO_XDEV and trigger an -EXDEV
error. If /tmp is not a mount point, resolving /tmp never crosses a
mount boundary, leading to a test failure.
Fix this by:
1. Making the entire root directory recursively private (MS_PRIVATE |
MS_REC) after unsharing the mount namespace.
2. Performing a self-bind-mount of /tmp on /tmp inside the isolated
private mount namespace, which guarantees that /tmp is a separate
mount point and that resolving /tmp will cross a mount boundary as
expected by the test.
