[LTP] [PATCH v2 1/2] Add TST_ASSERT_SYSCALL*() macros

Hi Martin,

What I like on these macros (besides DRY) is that it really shows the test, not
the library, see
before:
tst_safe_timerfd.c:21: BROK: timerfd01.c:89 timerfd_create(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) failed: EINVAL (22)
after:
timerfd01.c:89: BROK: timerfd_create(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) failed: EINVAL (22)

I'd consider to add single implementation, which would be influenced with flags
Something like
if ((flags & TST_ASSERT_LT_0) && _tst_ret < 0 || _tst_ret != 0) \

But maybe some people will not like degreased readability with macro,
and using flags would make it even a bit harder to read.

Kind regards,
Petr
