Generally the signal handler restores the state of the pkey register before returning. However there are times when the read/write operation can legitamely fail without invoking the signal handler. Eg: A sys_read() operaton to a write-protected page should be disallowed. In such a case the state of the pkey register is not restored to its original state. Test cases may not remember to restoring the key register state. During cleanup generically restore the key permissions.
