This patch add an extra test for passing invalid flags and check its
expected failure.  It shows an invalid LO_HI_LONG macro definition for
x86_64 with leads to passing invalid flags on some configurations.

The new tests fails on i686-linux-gnu and potentially on other 32 bits
architecture that uses the compat syscall definition due a kernel bug.
It is intended to be fixed upstream.  I have added a comment for it and
I think disabling this is not the correct approach since if the syscall
is ignoring the flag it defeats the whole purpose of the syscall.  The
failure indicates the kernel requires an update.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu

	* misc/tst-preadvwritev2-common.c: New file.
	* misc/tst-preadvwritev2.c (do_test): Add test for invalid flag.
	* misc/tst-preadvwritev64v2.c (do_test): Likewise.

Linus just merged the fix for that issue, so Linux 4.12 should be.
It will also go into the stable trees.
