Disable lock elision for mutex pretty printer tests.
If e.g. the testcase nptl/test-mutex-printers is run with enabled lock-elision, it fails on s390x with: Error: Response does not match the expected pattern. Command: print *mutex Expected pattern: pthread_mutex_t Response: No symbol "mutex" in current context. (gdb) See https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-03/msg00583.html for more details. In fact the mutex pretty printer tests rely on looking at the internal details of the lock, thus we disable it by setting up the GLIB_TUNABLES environment variable inside gdb. ChangeLog: * scripts/test_printers_common.py (init_test): Disable lock elision.
