Hi Alexei,

Thank you for the review!

I understand, I'm personally not a big fan of hiding code being a macro
too. This one saves only one line. Geliang added a few more tests in our
tree [1], for a total of 9, so that's only saving 9 lines.

Related to that, if you don't mind, Geliang also added another macro --
MPTCP_SCHED_TEST -- for tests that are currently only in our tree [2]
(not ready yet). We asked him to reduce the size of this macro to the
minimum. We accepted it because it removed quite a lot of similar code
with very small differences [3]. Do you think we should revert this
modification too?
