This function creat a file with random name, so that one test
can call this function multiple times to creat multple files
whenever required. So it will just take the path inside which it will creat
all these files. To keep hugetlb test file with ditinguisable name, the path
is sufficient, no need to take hugefile as argument.

So file is: hugetlbfs/ltp_xxxxxx_<tid>
