musl has its own definition of the fanotify_event_metadata struct and doesn't use the one from the Linux kernel. The difference here is that musl's mask field has the type unsigned long long, while the kernel uses __u64. This currently causes libc-test to fail to compile on musl targets.

Description
musl has its own definition of the fanotify_event_metadata struct and doesn't use the one from the Linux kernel.
The difference here is that musl's mask field has the type unsigned long long, while the kernel uses __u64.
This currently causes libc-test to fail to compile on musl targets.
