[LTP] [PATCH] futex_cmp_requeue01: fix test expectations

There are couple problems:

1. Keeping same uaddr1 value across requeue leads to a side-effect.
If there is a signal or spurious wakeup, futex_wait() operation can
be restarted (by kernel) with same input parameters. Which means that
process requeued for uaddr2, goes back to queueing for uaddr1. Such
use case is currently not valid as it is expected that uaddr1 value
changes, so that any late waiter can notice it and goes back with
-EWOULDBLOCK (-EAGAIN).

2. Test doesn't expect possibility of spurious wakeups.

3. Test is expecting to get exact values of woken/requeued processes.
Man page wording like "at most" or "maximum of" does not guarantee
exact numbers.

Change futex value before requeue, so child processes can observe
spurious wakeups.

Change child process, such that it always sleeps, to guarantee that
TST_PROCESS_STATE_WAIT() will always succeed finding sleeping process.

Change default timeout to 5 seconds. Spawning 1000 process on slower
systems was getting close to 1 second. This doesn't affect runtime in
PASS-ing case.

Change checks such that they reflect wording in man page, and don't
test for absolute values (see comments in code). One exception is
that we assume futex_wake(tc->num_waiters) will always wake up all
remaining processes.

@Cyril: I'm still testing this, but sending early to see if you'd be
        OK with this approach.
