Subject says KVM, but I don't see anything KVM related in here.  I don't think
any of the KVM selftests even use pidfd_open() directly.

This should probably be split into two patches:

  selftests: harness: Include pidfd.h to get syscall definitions from tools/

and

  selftests/pidfd: Add architecture-specific fallback definitions for pidfd_open

as there are two distinct changes here.  And kselftest_harness.h also tends to 
be
a finicky little bugger, isolating changes to that file is almost always a good
idea, no matter how trivial they might seem.
