Description:
Sometimes mysql-test-run.pl decides to create a tmpdir in /tmp instad of the requested
--tmpdir. This may lead to leftovers in /tmp which should not be there.

How to repeat:
./mtr --tmpdir=/dev/shm/tmp23

See how it creates a dir in /tmp/ from 'collect_mysqld_features'

Suggested fix:
Use the --tmpdir
