[Bug 1776967] Re: glibc pkeys test fail on powerpc

[Florian Weimer]

Upstream bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23202

There are three issues here: The kernel implementation in 4.17 was
buggy: pkey_set and pkey_get weren't implement in glibc, and the misc
/tst-pkeys has some incorrect test expectations.

  glibc has a tst-pkey that fails on powerpc, and that needs further
  investigation.
