err was being used in test_pkey_alloc_exhaust() prior to being assigned.
errno is useful to know after a failed alloc_pkey() call.

Change err to errno in the debug print.

What is errno referring to over here? There are a few things happening 
in alloc_pkey(). I guess it would show the latest error that happened. 
Does errno need to be set to 0 before the call?

Also, would it be useful to print the return value (new_pkey) from 
alloc_pkey() here?

Good point, but the only system call in alloc_pkey() is pkey_alloc() so it will
be the errno from there.

In test_pkey_alloc_exhaust() we are expecting the errno to be from pkey_alloc()

...
                if ((new_pkey == -1) && (errno == ENOSPC)) {
...

Maybe.  Now that I look again errno is printed just below at level 2.

                dprintf2("%s() errno: %d ENOSPC: %d\n", __func__, errno, ENOSPC);

I missed that.

Yea that might be useful.  Perhaps change err to new_pkey instead since errno
is already printed.
