Before exiting each test function(run_cmt/cat/mbm/mba_test()),
test results("ok","not ok") are printed by ksft_test_result() and then
temporary result files are cleaned by function
cmt/cat/mbm/mba_test_cleanup().
However, before running ksft_test_result(),
function cmt/cat/mbm/mba_test_cleanup()
has been run in each test function as follows:
  cmt_resctrl_val()
  cat_perf_miss_val()
  mba_schemata_change()
  mbm_bw_change()

Remove duplicate codes that clear each test result file.

This isn't making much sense to me. Please include test report before
and after this change in the change log.

From what I can tell this still seem to suffer from the problem where
the test files may not be cleaned. With the removal of mbm_test_cleanup()
the cleanup is now expected to be done in mbm_bw_change().

Note that:

mbm_bw_change()
{
	...

	ret = resctrl_val(benchmark_cmd, &param);
	if (ret)
		return ret;
	
	/* Test results stored in file */	

	ret = check_results(span);
	if (ret) 
		return ret; <== Return without cleaning test result file

	mbm_test_cleanup(); <== Test result file cleaned only when test passed.

	return 0;		
}

mba_schemata_change() has the same pattern as mbm_bw_change() so test result
files may linger when test fails.

Same pattern again.

Patch 4 makes this work. Thanks for doing that.

With or without this patch, there is no effect on the result message.
These functions were executed twice, in brief, it runs as follows:
 - cmt/cat/mbm/mba_test_cleanup()
 - ksft_test_result()
 - cmt/cat/mbm/mba_test_cleanup()
So, I deleted once.

I intend to avoid this problem through the following codes.

mbm_bw_change()
{
        ret = resctrl_val(benchmark_cmd, &param);
        if (ret)
-               return ret;
+               goto out;

        ret = check_results(span);
        if (ret)
-               return ret;
+               goto out;

+out:
        mbm_test_cleanup();

-       return 0;
+       return ret;
}

Yes, even though file removal may now encounter ENOENT this
does seem the most robust route and the possible error is ok
since mbm_test_cleanup() does not check the return code.
Could you please replicate this pattern to the other functions
(mba_schemata_change() and cmt_resctrl_val()) also?

This is an example for MBM, I intended to replicate this pattern to other tests.
