[LTP] [RFC] usctest cleanup

[Cyril Hrubis]

Hi!
I'm investigating usefullnes of the few macros that are in the usctest.h
header.

The TEST_CLEANUP does nothing unless the test gets -e parameter, which
does not happen by default anyway.

And even if the the option is passed it does not work unless the test
sets expected errnos with TEST_EXP_ENOS() and logs errnos from the calls
with TEST_ERROR_LOG(), which seems to be the case only for about 250 out
of the thousands testcases we have.

And even if the code would have been working the usefulness is
questionable. The errno values are checked troughly in the testcases and
there is no need to print a summary at the test exit.

So unless anybody objects I would like to remove these three macros.

Then there is a TEST_PAUSE macro that expands to usc_global_setup_hook()
and which is used in nearly all setup functions. What it does it stop
the test in the setup in pause() waiting for SIGUSR1 if option -p has
been passed to the test and can change the program break with the
sbrk(). Has anyone ever used that or we can remove that as well?
