Noticed that there was no selftest for the acct() syscall
which enables the kernel to record terminated processes
into a specified file.
This patch provides a test for the acct() syscall.

Describe the functionality being tested. Add testcases to
test error conditions.
The code doesn't meet coding guidelines for C and also kernel.
Please check other kernel source files and coding standards document.
Use ksft_* function for reporting results. Refer to an existing test
on how to.
