This is not a kind response to reviewers.
Does a "drive-by fix" get exempt from the review process?
The review comments are legit even if they could be dismissed
on technical grounds, because the risk of pid wraparound is quite low.

I don't think this is about "bikeshed over how best to kill a process"
I think this is about how to have better test cleanup practices.
It would have been nice to have better isolation by having fstests
run a test without a control group and cleanup the control group
processes after the test if someone wants to take on this task.

I personally prefer the pattern of dedicated cleanup trap for aborting the test
like generic/251 that leaves the generic _cleanup on EXIT instead of
duplicating _cleanup (which generic/251 also duplicate incorrectly),
but no strong feeling about that, so as a "drive-by fix" you may add:
