xfstests: kludge patch for per-dir test number sorting by ./check

["Michael L. Semon" <mlsemon35@gmail.com>]

I'm trying to get the new xfstests to run the XFS tests first, then run 
the generic group, then run the shared group.  One attempt was to work 
with this variable in the ./check script:

SRC_GROUPS="generic shared"

There is a final file sort in ./check that means, no matter which order 
groups are specified in SRC_GROUPS, the groups will be executed in 
alphabetical order.  This sysadmin kludge patch fixes that behavior and 
seems to work.  By moving the sorting into the trim_test_list() 
function, test numbers are still sorted, but the groups seem to run in 
the order specified in the SRC_GROUPS variable.

Let me know if this helps or if I'm simply not using the new xfstests 
correctly.

Michael
