Makes more sense to merge desc and macro_name together. Then see below:

You can just use:

	SAFE_LSTAT(tc->path, &buf);

Otherwise test will fail with:

fstat04.c:74: TPASS: Expect: regular file: macro matches
fstat04.c:74: TPASS: Expect: directory: macro matches
fstat04.c:74: TPASS: Expect: FIFO (pipe): macro matches
fstat04.c:74: TFAIL: Expect: symbolic link: macro matches
fstat04.c:46: TBROK: open(chrdev,2048,0000) failed: EACCES (13)

We don't need an if statement here. We can just:

	TST_EXP_EXPR(is_correct, "%s macro matches", tc->desc);

Just use SAFE_TOUCH() in here, so `fd` can be removed also from the
static variables.
