Some tests like dma, ia64, etc. were not present in top level of

I removed sched, safesetid and filelock from the Makefile, because these
tests were actually triggered when we run 'make run_tests' even though it
has not been mentioned explicitly inside top level Makefile of selftest.

There are good reasons to leave out tests from the kselftest default
run.
1. test requires specific hardware or driver or system configuration
which includes kernel configuration options.
e.g: media_tests, dma
2. It is a benchmark and/or destructive test that doesn't fit into
default run category: watchdog, kmod
3. test Makefile doesn't support kselftest framework
Any patch adding a test left out of default run to the default
run has to explain the reasons why it is a good idea to add it
and more importantly showing that this doesn't impact the default
run with report from the test run "make kselftest"
Sorry. I am not going to take this patch.
thanks,
