[ Upstream commit c13339039891dbdfa6c1972f0483bd07f610b776 ]
When test_send_signal_kern__open_and_load() fails parent closes the pipe which cases ASSERT_EQ(read(pipe_p2c...)) to fail, but child continues and enters infinite loop, while parent is stuck in wait(NULL). Other error paths have similar issue, so kill the child before waiting on it.
The bug was discovered while compiling all of selftests with -O1 instead of -O2 which caused progs/test_send_signal_kern.c to fail to load.
