qemu-native build can fail on build hosts which have an older
linux/openat2.h header. The header is new enough to enable
HAVE_OPENAT2_H, but it does not have RESOLVE_CACHED because that flag
was added later in kernel 5.12.
In that case linux-user/strace.c tries to use RESOLVE_CACHED and build
fails with:
error: 'RESOLVE_CACHED' undeclared here
This is mainly seen with qemu-native because it is built for the host
and can pick the host kernel UAPI header. The buildtools header may have
RESOLVE_CACHED, but native build still has to be safe with older host
headers also.
Add the upstream QEMU fix which checks RESOLVE_CACHED before using it.
This does not change anything on newer hosts. On older hosts QEMU just
does not print this one strace flag because the local header does not
know about it.

+Subject: [PATCH] linux-user: Check if RESOLVE_CACHED flag is defined before
+ using it
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport
[https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/commit/7ac4bded6af90a15a9562515743a789236b062d1]
+
+openat2.h was introduced in Linux kernel 5.6. However, RESOLVE_CACHED
+flag was only added in kernel 5.12 and later. Therefore, we need to check
+if RESOLVE_CACHED flag is defined before using it.
