[PATCH] selftests: openat2: fix build error on newer glibc

[Aleksa Sarai]

It appears that newer glibcs check that openat(O_CREAT) was provided a
fourth argument (rather than passing garbage), resulting in the
following build error:

Thanks for a quick patch. It compiles now.

I will take this through kselftest tree.
