Ah, I didn't notice. Honestly, I've just copied some older fanotify test
and modified it ;).

One thing that is not quite clear to me with the new API:

Should I use .test or .test_all callback? The test has two parts => we call
tst_resm() twice. That would indicate I should set .tcnt to 2 and use .test
callback however that is seriously impractical as the two tests are very
closely related and in fact the second test just verifies that the cleanup
of the first test went fine. So we need to propagate a lot of state between
the first and the second state.
