We have some many cases that will create child process as well, such as
pidfd_wait. Previously, we will signal/kill the parent process when it
is time out, but this signal will not be sent to its child process. In
such case, if child process doesn't terminate itself, ksefltest framework
will hang forever.
below ps tree show the situation when ksefltest is blocking:
