Intial Addition of sync_file_range() syscall test to LTP. I have developed test cases for sync_file_range() system call which will do the basic sanity (error) checking for the system call.  These tests have to be run on 2.6.17 kernel and above. The test cases have been currently tested only on x86 and x86_64 architecture. Also,  I have hard coded the system call number in the test case for  review purposes and will be later on moving it to linux_syscall_numbers.h file in the LTP framework. The support for PowerPC was provided from 2.6.22 kernel onwards. I had not taken care of it in my previous patch. Now this is addressed. Signed-Off-By: "B. N. Poornima" <poornima@in.ibm.com>.
