Your idea is correct, but IMHO it's not good to skip all the tests, which is
done due
tst_test.c:1051: BROK: Test 0 haven't reported results!
if you use tst_res(TBROK ...).

You can use tst_brk(TBROK) to avoid no reported results, but that's obviously
exit the test either.

tst_brk(TBROK) is used for setup, where you create some resource, which is then
reused by all test runs, but this preparation fails.

NOTE: There are some tests which are using tst_res(TBROK). At least some of them are
wrong. IMHO in testcases/kernel/syscalls/request_key/request_key04.c
	TST_ERR = saved_errno;
	if (TST_ERR == EACCES) {
		tst_res(TPASS, "request_key() failed with EACCES as expected");
	} else {
		tst_res(TBROK | TTERRNO,
			"request_key() failed with unexpected error code");
	}

IMHO it should be
	TST_ERR = saved_errno;
	if (TST_ERR == EACCES) {
		tst_res(TPASS, "request_key() failed with EACCES as expected");
	} else {
		tst_res(TFAIL | TTERRNO,
			"request_key() failed with unexpected error code");
	}
Otherwise if it fails at unexpected error code, you get:
request_key04.c:68: BROK: request_key() failed with unexpected error code: EACCES (13)
tst_test.c:1036: BROK: Test haven't reported results!

Thus I'd try to avoid TBROK with tst_res().

Kind regards,
