[PATCH bpf-next 2/2] selftests/bpf: create new processes repeatedly in the background.

[Kui-Feng Lee <kuifeng@xxxxxxxx>]

According to a report, the system may crash when a task iterator
travels vma(s).  The investigation shows it takes place if the
visiting task dies during the visit.

This test case creates iterators repeatedly and forks short-lived
processes in the background to detect this bug.  The test will last
for 3 seconds to get the chance to trigger the issue.
