dmatest: return actual state in 'run' file
The following command should return actual state of the test.
% cat /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest/run
To wait for test done the user may perform a busy loop that checks the state.
% while [ $(cat /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest/run) = "Y" ]
> do
> echo -n "."
> sleep 1
> done
> echo
