Does this line of code even compile?

That's not how use use the TST_EXP_PASS() macro, the bare mq_notify()
call should be inside.

Here as well.

				       We tend to prefix globaly visible
				       object with ltp_ and use the test
				       name in there, so in this case
				       this would be "/ltp_mq_notify03"

This will never work, the SAFE_MQ_OPEN() will exit the test if the call
fails with ENOSYS. You have to check for the support in a test setup
instead.

Also I think that unlike the SysV IPC the POSIX IPC cannot be disabled
in kernel .config, so ENOSYS handling may not be needed after all.

Here as well.

	       This is poorly choosen name for a function, can we please
	       call this more descriptive name? What about
	       try_null_dereference() ?
