>Description:
Some tests, like for example /usr/tests/fs/nfs/t_rquotad, will create 
background server processes via rump_server or similar. There seems to be
no proper atf cleanup path used in this tests (or it does not work).

Now consider this fragment fo r_quotad:

        #now try a quota(8) call
        export RUMPHIJACK='blanket=/mnt,socket=all,path=/rump,vfs=getvfsstat'
        for q in ${expect} ; do
                local id=$(id -${q})
                atf_check -s exit:0 \
-o "match:/mnt        0       10    40960               1      20   51200      $
-o "match:Disk quotas for .*: $" \
                    quota -${q} -v
        done

and note the cleanup code after it:
        
        unset LD_PRELOAD
        rump_quota_shutdown

Unfortunately this means that if the check fails (the -o match: disagrees with
the output) the test will abort and rump_quota_shutdown will not be invoked.

Worse: imagine you are using a (limited) tmpfs on /tmp. The left over 
rump_server (or rump_* mounts) will keep the filesystem image open, even
after atf automatically removed the working directory. So your tmpfs runs
full and more tests fail...

>How-To-Repeat:
Currently a diskless system with / on nfs and /tmp on tmpfs is enough to
trigger bogus output from quota(1), so this will trigger the issue. Once
that is fixed: just modify the match expression to mismatch and run the
test, then pgrep for rump_server.

>Fix:
use atf explicit cleanup handling to shut down the rump servers.
