FWIW, here the test results in

(built without -Werror=return-type, so I'd missed the warnings)

Anyway, I've folded the fix (with those stray return 0 removed, of course)
into #work.coredump and #for-next; works here.  Could you test either
branch (in git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git)?

By using Linaro tuxsuite [1] I have built your tree and tested on x86_64 and
the reported test PASS now.

LTP syscalls [2] and LTP fs [3] tested on x86_64 and both PASS.
