lib/56313: tests/lib/libc/sys/t_wait.c compares si_status incorrectly

problem found by code inspection
>Description:
In http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/tests/lib/libc/sys/t_wait.c?rev=1.9&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&only_with_tag=MAIN I found the line:
ATF_REQUIRE(si.si_status = 0x5a5a5a5a);
This is supposed to check the value of si.si_status, but because there is = instead of ==, it assigns the value and does not check anything.
FreeBSD has imported this code to contrib/netbsd-tests/lib/libc/sys/t_wait.c; I originally found the issue there.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Change = to == in this line.
I don't know whether the underlying functionality works correctly in the kernel if it is not tested.
