userfaultfd: selftests: infinite loop in faulting_process
On Android this test is getting stuck in an infinite loop due to
indeterminate behavior:
The local variables steps and signalled were being reset to 1 and 0
respectively after every jump back to sigsetjmp by siglongjmp in the
signal handler. The test was incrementing them and expecting them to
retain their incremented values. The documentation for siglongjmp says:
All accessible objects have values as of the time sigsetjmp() was called,
except that the values of objects of automatic storage duration which are
local to the function containing the invocation of the corresponding
sigsetjmp() which do not have volatile-qualified type and which are
changed between the sigsetjmp() invocation and siglongjmp() call are
indeterminate.
Tagging steps and signalled with volatile enabled the test to pass.
