[OE-core][PATCH v1] procps: ptest: skip kill test due to race condition

[Pratik Farkase <pratik.farkase@est.tech>]

The kill dejagnu test has a race condition where the test_process helper
can exit or become unavailable before the expect script reads its output,
resulting in 'spawn id not open' errors. This causes intermittent
'kill with SIGUSR1' failures on the autobuilder, particularly on
qemuarm64.

This is tracked upstream at https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/issues/423

[YOCTO #16263]
