[LTP] [PATCH] scenario_groups/default: run the kernel_misc test after the cve test

[Xiao Yang]

Hi,

Your patch just workarounds the issue for now, because it still happens 
if a new test designed to taint
kernel is added to the group before cve group in future.

Could we save the value of tainted before running block_dev and then 
restore it after running block_dev?

Best Regards,
Xiao Yang
