Also looking at how these functions are used, we fork a child that calls
this function then wait it and ignore the exit value it does not make
sense to use tst_brk() here at all.

The tst_brk() is supposed to exit the whole test, including all
suprocesses but that does not work if we throw away the child return
value. This piece of code looks like we exit the whole test here, which
isn't simply true.

So either we should do tst_res(TFAIL, ...) followed by an exit(0) here,
or we should handle the return value in the parent. I.e. stop the test
if one of the children reported a failure.

It would also make sense to do exit(0); here so that we do not have to
repeat that in each test.

And same here.
