Thank you for having sorted these files to reduce future conflicts
between net and net-next! (Hopefully this will not cause too much
troubles when backporting some patches to stable versions, but I guess
new tests will rarely be backported.)

Strange, I think all other blocks are OK in this patch, except this one:
the order is the same as before (so not sorted by alphabetical order),
and the last line is not "# end of TEST_PROGS" as expected.

I'm sure this detail can be fixed when applying the patch, or with an
extra one if that's easier, instead of sending a v2 and delaying this
type of patch.
