Ah, yes -- you are right. I looked through the commit history (I had
to go back to when the seccomp test, and the harness, was out of tree).
There was a time when the logic happened during the list walking, rather
than during list _creation_. I was remembering the former.

So, yes, let's make this change. As you say, it also solves for defining
TEST_HARNESS_MAIN before the tests. Thank you! I'd still like to replace
all the open-coded TEST_HARNESS_MAIN calls, though.
