kselftest/runner.sh: Propagate SIGTERM to runner child
[ Upstream commit 9616cb34b08ec86642b162eae75c5a7ca8debe3c ]
Timeouts in kselftest are done using the "timeout" command with the
"--foreground" option. Without the "foreground" option, it is not
possible for a user to cancel the runner using SIGINT, because the
signal is not propagated to timeout which is running in a different
process group. The "forground" options places the timeout in the same
process group as its parent, but only sends the SIGTERM (on timeout)
signal to the forked process. Unfortunately, this does not play nice
with all kselftests, e.g. "net:fcnal-test.sh", where the child
processes will linger because timeout does not send SIGTERM to the
group.
Some users have noted these hangs [1].
Fix this by nesting the timeout with an additional timeout without the
foreground option.
