We have SAFE_PTRACE() make use of that.

No need to clear errno, the TEST() macro does that.

Here as well.

This can be TST_EXP_EQ_LI()

Please bo comments commenting the obvious like this one.

This should be just SAFE_PTRACE() if we need to check for EPERM because
of security checks it should be done, in a separate patch, in
tst_safe_ptrace() instead.

The more canonical way is to SAFE_WAITPID() and check for WIFSTOPPED().

This should be just SAFE_CLOSE(fd)

- we cannot get here if the fd == -1 since the tst_create_unlinked()
  exits the test on a failure

- the fd is set to -1 by SAFE_CLOSE() macro.

The test needs just 1 hugepage.
