Not a very good argument for two reasons:
1. The function was internal to the library, so no one (except for 
library developers)
    should know about it anyway. The old public interface 
(TST_NEEDS_ROOT) is unchanged
2. I wanted to make it consistent with other functions, that do similar 
stuff like
    tst_test_drivers and tst_test_cmds. Both also call tst_brk in case 
of unsuccessful tests.
