The bpf selftest send_signal() is flaky for its subtests trying to send signals in softirq/nmi context. To reduce flakiness, the signal-targetted process priority is boosted, which should minimize preemption of that process and improve the possibility that the underlying task in softirq/nmi context is the bpf_send_signal() wanted task. Patch #1 did a refactoring to use ASSERT_* instead of old CHECK macros. Patch #2 did actual change of boosting priority.
