Pull pidfd/waitid updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains two features and various tests.
First, it adds support for waiting on process through pidfds by adding
the P_PIDFD type to the waitid() syscall. This completes the basic
functionality of the pidfd api (cf. [1]). In the meantime we also have
a new adition to the userspace projects that make use of the pidfd
api. The qt project was nice enough to send a mail pointing out that
they have a pr up to switch to the pidfd api (cf. [2]).
Second, this tag contains an extension to the waitid() syscall to make
it possible to wait on the current process group in a race free manner
(even though the actual problem is very unlikely) by specifing 0
together with the P_PGID type. This extension traces back to a
discussion on the glibc development mailing list.
There are also a range of tests for the features above. Additionally,
the test-suite which detected the pidfd-polling race we fixed in [3]
is included in this tag"

[3] commit b191d6491b ("pidfd: fix a poll race when setting exit_state")
* tag 'core-process-v5.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux:
waitid: Add support for waiting for the current process group
tests: add pidfd poll tests
tests: move common definitions and functions into pidfd.h
pidfd: add pidfd_wait tests
pidfd: add P_PIDFD to waitid()
Other than verifying pidfd based polling, the tests make sure that
wait semantics are preserved with the pidfd poll. Notably the 2 cases:
1. If a thread group leader exits while threads still there, then no
pidfd poll notifcation should happen.
2. If a non-thread group leader does an execve, then the thread group
leader is signaled to exit and is replaced with the execing thread
as the new leader, however the parent is not notified in this case.

The test plan for TAP needs to be declared immediately after the header.
This adds the test plan API to kselftest.h and updates all callers to
declare their expected test counts.
