Previously, Looper internally kept track of the requests to add fds
using the fd value itself. It used an internal sequence number
associated with each request to add a callback to avoid a situation
where a callback is unexpectedly called. However, since it used the fd
value rather than the sequence number to register events into epoll,
there was still a way where unintended hangups could occur.
This exact sequence of events caused unintended behavior in Looper:
- An fd (FD) is added to the looper.
- Looper registers FD into epoll using its FD number.
- FD is closed.
- A hangup event arrives from epoll_wait while the Looper is polling.
Looper is waiting for the lock to process the callback for FD, because
it is blocked by:
- A new fd is created and added to the looper. Since the lowest number
fd is reused, this new fd has the same value as FD.
- The poll request for Looper is now unblocked, so it looks up the
callback associated with FD to process the hangup.
- Since FD is already associated with the new callback, the new callback
is called unintentionally.
This CL uses the sequence number to register fds into epoll. That way,
when we get a hangup from epoll that is associated with a sequence
number, there is no way an unexpected callback will called.
This CL also adds a test to verify this behavior. Due to the
nondeterministic nature of this multi-thread scenario, the test verifies
this scenario repeatedly. Without the fix in Looper, the test is flaky,
but should never fail after the fix.

Move tests in the same directory as the corresponding code, so it's
easier to see what is/isn't tested.
Fix naming of libcutils_tests (plural) to match the singular that's more
common (even though the plural makes more sense to me).
Add these two to system/core/'s TEST_MAPPING.
Remove obsolete AndroidTest.xml.
Fix a flaky (timing-dependent) libcutils test.
Test: ran tests
