Initially Konstantin wrote tests with TEST_F_FORK() but I asked him to 
only use TEST_F() because TEST_F_FORK() is only useful when a 
FIXTURE_TEARDOWN() needs access rights that were dropped with a 
TEST_F(), e.g. to unmount mount points set up with a FIXTURE_SETUP() 
while Landlock restricted a test process.

Indeed, TEST_F() already fork() to make sure there is no side effect 
with tests.
