OK, I think there is just some LTP specific stuff left to fix and
setup/teardown issues.

Using tst_res in a signal handler is not safe although it usually
works. Possibly it will result in some confusing output on some systems.

Could we just set a global and read it later or drop it?

Is this duplicating SAFE_MMAP?

I think mmap and the if statement can be replaced with it.

Same here with munmap and SAFE_MUNMAP.

nit: we don't use camel case. Although I think this function can be
replaced, see below.

Scanning mtab with strstr is fragile, at the least "debugfs" can appear
in a path. Instead please use setmntent and getmntent (you can copy &
paste from tst_device or tst_cgroup). Or scanf the whole line etc.
