Note: CL to fix this is coming soon.

This triggers the race detector (for a good reason) when a test case fails by calling directly or indirectly t.FailNow() from two different goroutine.

Repro case

func TestRace(t *testing.T) {
  t2 := testing.T{}
  var wg sync.WaitGroup
  for i := 0; i < 2; i++ {
    wg.Add(1)
    go func() {
      defer wg.Done()
      t2.FailNow()
    }()
  }
  wg.Wait()
}

Actual

go test ./testing -race

The docs say: "FailNow must be called from the goroutine running the test or benchmark function, not from other goroutines created during the test."

Also, you can't create your own *testing.T.

So, I don't think there's anything to fix here.
