Simon Marchi ea186080fe gdb/testsuite: add xfail for gdb/29965 in gdb.threads/process-exit-status-is-leader-exit-status.exp
Bug 29965 shows on a Linux kernel >= 6.1, that test fails consistently
with:

    FAIL: gdb.threads/process-exit-status-is-leader-exit-status.exp: iteration=0: continue (the program exited)
    ...
    FAIL: gdb.threads/process-exit-status-is-leader-exit-status.exp: iteration=9: continue (the program exited)

This is due to a change in Linux kernel behavior [1] that affects
exactly what this test tests.  That is, if multiple threads (including
the leader) call SYS_exit, the exit status of the process should be the
exit status of the leader.  After that change in the kernel, it is no
longer the case.

Add an xfail in the test, based on the Linux kernel version.  The goal
is that if a regression is introduced in GDB regarding this feature, it
should be caught if running on an older kernel where the behavior was
consistent.

# GDB must always report the process's exit status based on the exit
# status of the thread group leader thread. Test that when multiple
# threads exit simultaneously, GDB doesn't confuse the non-leader
# threads' exit status for the process's exit status. GDB used to
# have a race condition that led to randomly handling this
# incorrectly.
#
# Since the improper behavior is racy in nature, this test is not
# expected to be able to reproduce the error reliably. Multiple
# executions (or increasing the number of iterations) might be
# required to reproduce the error with a misbehaving GDB.
