[LTP] [PATCH v2 0/2] libltp: add support for .needs_rofs for EROFS check

[Sandeep Patil]

Some tests go through losetup, create, format and mount
filesystems only to run tests for 'EROFS' return value from
system calls. The tests end up being flaky depending on the tools
available on the platform. e.g. mkfs.<filesystem> tool is required for
mounting a device with filesystem.

If the test is only to check for EROFS, this can be achieved by simply doing a
'tmpfs' read-only mount in $tmpdir. So, this series adds a ".needs_rofs" flag
to 'struct tst_test' that can be used to indicate that the test only needs a
read-only filesystem mount ot test for 'EROFS' return value. If the flag is
set, the library will first attempt to mount 'tmpfs' filesystem at
tst_test->mntpoint and fallback to the original create, format and mount a
loopback device if that fails.

Example of tests that can benefit from this are:
  access04, mkdirat02, mknodat02, acct01, fchown04, mknod07 etc.

This also allows for these tests to successfully run on Android.
