FYI the problem I wanted to address here was during repeatedly running this test
(swapon03.c) during debugging. Therefore $TMPDIR directory component would help
or $PID would help in this case (but sure the test name itself would help in
possible clash of 2 different tests). I'll probably implement it by $TMPDIR
subset unless you see any usefulness of normalizing $TMPDIR.

But I'll postpone it, in v3 I'll just remove fork and "Try to swapon() as many
files until it fails" to get the original problem merged first.

Understand. FYI I added the full path to the file to avoid the need to create
full path from subset of the path. I'll probably go this way, although I still
think more tests expect normalized path to TMPDIR, but we don't normalize it
nor even check for it (it'd be interesting to see how many tests in
runtest/syscalls will fail with TMPDIR=/run/../tmp or TMPDIR=/tmp///).

Kind regards,
