Hi, Christian                                                                                                                                                                                                             
Thanks for your patient explanation of the kselftest code.                                                   
Please give comments on this test code.

TEST_HARNESS_MAIN

for this test code ,i add a new file mq_sysctl_test.c, a makefile and a config file 
with content
CONFIG_USER_NS=y
CONFIG_POSIX_MQUEUE_SYSCTL=y

but i am not sure which directory to place thess files,
for the original tools/testing/selftests/mqueue/
i think this directory don't need a config file, but for this test code,
this config file is needed,
do you have any suggestion on which directory this test code should place?
