[PATCH] test: parenthesize assertion macro parameters

Some test assertion macros use parameters directly in expressions,
which can lead to unexpected evaluation due to operator precedence
after macro substitution.

Fix this by parenthesizing macro parameters and the resulting
expressions in rte_test.h and app/test/test.h.
