Test the functionality of readfile(2) in various ways.

Hello Greg,

I expect readfile() to generate fanotify events FAN_OPEN_PERM, FAN_OPEN,
FAN_ACCESS_PERM, FAN_ACCESS, FAN_CLOSE_NOWRITE in this sequence.

Yes, it should, I don't think I do anything unique here when it comes to
vfs accesses that would go around those events.

Looking at patch 1/3 you took care of notifications. Would this deserve
testing here?

Possibly, do we have other in-tree tests of syscalls that validate those
events properly being created?

thanks,

greg k-h
