The clone() system call has difficulty to make progress if interrupted frequently by the signal helper process. At least on an APL, like in the Bugzilla ticket below, this can introduce minutes of overhead to a single system() call (leading to a global CI timeout). To get rid of the overhead suspend the signal helper process for the duration of the system() call, which is provided already by igt_system().
