Exclude the process VM access test alongside the existing RHEL 9.3 exclusions because that kernel has the same unreliable syscall tracepoint behavior seen by mprotect. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

Summary
Emit
process_vm_accesswhen a process usesprocess_vm_readvorprocess_vm_writevto access another process's memory. Events carry the operation, target PID, first remote address, requested byte count, and raw syscall return value so Defend can distinguish successful transfers from failed attempts. Same-process calls are suppressed.Issue: https://github.com/elastic/endpoint-dev/issues/21204
