Thank you for adding these.

I am not sure about this. With this exit the kselftest machinery is not
aware of the test passing or failing. I wonder if there should not rather
be a "goto" here that triggers ksft_test_result()? This needs some more
thought though. First, with this change test_prepare() officially gains
responsibility to determine if a failure is transient (just a single test
fails) or permanent (no use trying any other tests if this fails). For
the former it would then be up to the caller to call ksft_test_result()
and for the latter test_prepare() will call ksft_exit_fail_msg().
Second, that SNC warning may be an inconvenience with a new goto. Here
it may be ok to print that message before the test failure?

Since this is an initialization fix in this area ... what
do you think of also initializing sigact? It could just be
a change to
	struct sigaction sigact = {};

This will prevent registering a signal handler with 
uninitialized sa_flags.
