Yeah my bad!

I was playing with both v1 and v2 for my testing. I lost track of which one worked
well. I had to start from square one and re-test.

v2 by not appending newline, allows custom formats in individual test messages.
For example, a test wants to use tabs between two ksft_print_msg() calls or _report_
messages. v2 is flexible and works better and leds itself well. Users can just pass
the format and expect it to stick.

If there are no issues with this series, I plan to apply your v2 series and this
series later on today or early tomorrow to linux-kselftest next.

If we have this infrastructure in place, we will be able to make progress in the
next release with the TAP13 conversion of other tests.
