[LTP] [RFC PATCH] syscalls: Remove getcontext01

[Cyril Hrubis]

Hi!
> According to man getcontext(3) getcontext was this function from
> POSIX.1-2001 (SUSv2) removed from POSIX.1-2008 (SUSv3).

Being deprecated from POSIX is never a reason to remove tests as far as
the API is exposed to userspace it should be tested.

> Given that the test was just a smoke tests (doing nothing) and we don't
> test other functions from this family ({set,swap,make}context) remove it.

I wouldn't say it's doing nothing, it asserts that call to getcontext()
returns 0, which is very basic but still a valid test.

What is the real motivation for this removal?
