First of all, thanks a lot for all these improvements to test_progs
and converting existing tests to test_progs tests, it's great to see
this consolidation!

This doesn't seem to be testing-specific functionality, tbh. It's
certainly useful helper, but I don't think it warrants test__ prefix.

As for test->need_cgroup_cleanup field, this approach won't scale if
we need other types of custom/optional clean up after test ends.
Generic test framework code will need to know about every possible
custom setup to be able to cleanup/undo it.

I wonder if generalizing it to be able to add custom clean up code
(some test frameworks have "teardown" overrides for this) would be
cleaner and more maintainable solution.

Something like:

typedef void (* test_teardown_fn)(struct test *test, void *ctx);

/* somewhere at the beginning of test: */
test__schedule_teardown(test_teardown_fn cb, void *ctx);

Then in generic framework we'll just process a list of callbacks and
call each one with stored ctx per each callback (in case we need some
custom data to be stored, of course).

Thoughts?
