[LTP] [RFC PATCH 1/2] tst_test: Add test multiplex function

[Cyril Hrubis]

From: Cyril Hrubis <chrubis@suse.cz>

The test multiplex function is intended for running the test function in
a loop for a different settings. The indended purpose is to run tests
for both libc wrapper and raw syscall as well as for different syscall
variants.

The commit itself adds a test_multiplex() function into the tst_test
structure, if set this function is called in a loop before each test
iteration and is responsible for changing the test variant into next
one. The iterations continue until the function returns zero.
