[V2] strace: skip so_peerpidfd test

From: Randy MacLeod <Randy.MacLeod@windriver.com>

The so_peerpidfd test is failing due to a difference of square brackets
in part of the log file. Skip the failing test until the difference is
understood and fixed.

Is this a recent regression tied to some other commit or is this
intermittent? What does the output look like? Is there an upstream
ticket?

How the failure occurs to be better documented, and upstreams do need
to be notified, please don't just add pending patches to quickly
resolve AB fails.

In the v3 a note was added that this is a 6.5 kernel issue. I suspect
upstream can and will resolve it when they get to that kernel version,
we're just not there yet. In the meantime we have a ton of other issues
with 6.5 so having this noise removed is extremely helpful.

I appreciate it isn't ideal but we do need to pull all the loose ends
together and get our 4.3 release happening at this point.

The commit that merged does mention the kernel version element.

Cheers,

Richard
