[LTP] [PATCH v12 2/3] lib: New library function tst_get_free_uid

Hi Wei,

> + * @skip: GID value to skip (pass 0 to skip none).
> + *
> + * Scans the group database for the first unused GID starting from 1,
> + * skipping @skip. The @skip argument can be used to ignore e.g. the main

> + * Calls tst_brk(TBROK) if no free GID is found or a lookup error occurs.
> + *
> + * Return: An unused gid_t value.

This documentation is out of scope and should be sent from an another
patch-set.
