(Maybe at some point the selftests code should add some more concise
alternative to snprintf() calls on separate lines. A macro or
something like that so that you can write stuff like `f =
fopen(tprintf("/proc/self/fdinfo/%d", pidfd), "re")`.)

Wouldn't it be better to get rid of the nullbyte assignment and change
the strncmp() into a strcmp() here...

... and add a "\n" to the format string? It's shorter and doesn't
silently ignore it if the line doesn't end at that point.
