Callers of get_cbm_mask() are required to pass a string into which
the CBM bit mask is read into. Neither CAT nor CMT tests need the
mask as string but just convert it into an unsigned long value.

The bit mask reader can only read .../cbm_mask files.

Generalize the bit mask reading function into get_bit_mask() such that
it can be used to handle other files besides the .../cbm_mask and
handle the unsigned long conversion within within get_bit_mask() using
fscanf(). Alter get_cbm_mask() to construct the filename for
get_bit_mask().

There is a double "into" above. Perhaps the second can be dropped?

I think this is a good change. It does raise the question why long_mask
is a global variable so I think it may make things go smoother if
the patch making long_mask local is moved to be before this patch.

Is it get_cbm_mask?

Sure, thanks for noticing this. While correcting it, I also improved the 
description to match what the function now does.
