I have removed tst_kvercmp2 usage for RHEL6 in 
testcases/kernel/syscalls/inotify/inotify04.c and 
../kernel/tracing/dynamic_debug/dynamic_debug01.sh, so it should not 
break tst_kvercmp2.

Also, the current lastest ltp can't ensure that can be compile 
successfully on rhel6 because of lack of ci, so I think we don't need to
still maintain the old version check.  If people want to use old kernel 
ie RHEL6, why not use the old ltp release?

ps: @Jan, if you want to keep RHEL6, I will keep it. But two more years, 
we still need to drop it.
