screamm 41b0ca597b feat(libkernel_sys): let chroot keep the guest root
Porpoise (PPSA99764) stops on its weak chroot import (#3632, #4497).
Run 5 on main c2565f014, and again on a copy of that runtime:

  FAIL: unresolved ELF import AKknh8Cx-V8 from libkernel_sys.prx

Its only call is in put_root_back (src/porpoise_jailbreak.cpp,
elripalda/Porpoise-Dolphin-Emulator-for-PS5 2ed1ab5a06995aa1): after a
jailbreak daemon has made the console's root its root and /app0 is
gone, it calls fchdir on the descriptor of "/" it opened at start, then
chroot("."), and checks the result. So it only ever puts back the root
it started in, and it does not use paths under any other root.

On top of the lookup errors of the previous commit, chroot now follows
FreeBSD 11.4 sys_chroot and pwd_chroot (8c639945, vfs_syscalls.c and
kern_descrip.c) for that case: a directory that is the guest root
("/", "/..", "." after fchdir to "/") succeeds without a change, since
fd_rdir would be set to the vnode it already is. The guest is taken
never to have changed its root, so with chroot_allow_open_directories 1
an open directory does not give EPERM. ENAMETOOLONG is added as in
pathconf, and a ".." through a file reports ENOTDIR instead of
escaping as a filesystem_error. Any other directory still throws: the
resolver's root and mount aliases are fixed, and no title is known that
needs a real new root.
