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.
