Note: In that example, it doesn't use T_EXIT_* as the exit code because this
exit code protocol is a new framework. We haven't finished to port the old
tests to follow this rule.

It's introduced in commit (in liburing-2.3):

    ed430fbeb3336 ("tests: migrate some tests to use enum-based exit codes")

New tests should follow the T_EXIT_* convention for exit code.
