I'd derive the hugetbl variant size from the size of a huge page and
predefined number of huge pages.

You can move hugetlb setup after opening those and save the headache of
closing them.

And in any rate prefer 

	goto err_do_cleanup

to
	if (something_failed) {
		cleanup1();
		cleanup2();
	}

	if (something_else_failed) {
		cleanup1();
		cleanup2();
		cleanup3();
	}

No need to call restore() here.

Also, if you use a constant number of huge pages you can just add
HUGETLB_SETUP_DEFAULT_PAGES(NR_HUGE_PAGES) somewhere in the begining and
you won't need to setup and teardown hugetlb explicitly for every
hugetlb test.

Can't these to go to the static initialization?
