I do not like this part that much. We have tst_cmd() that is better than
tst_system() and also netlink library which could probably do the same.
Given that this is important we can go with this for now, but I would
like to see it fixed later.

This WAITPID shouldn't be here, it will mask any errors from the SAFE_
macros in the child.

Since we corrupted the page cache when the test fails maybe we should
drop it on failure here just in case?
I.e. write 1 to /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches?
