In kselftest framework, a sub test is run using the timeout utility

In resctrl_tests, a child process is created by fork() to
run benchmark but SIGTERM is not set in sigaction().
If SIGTERM signal is received, the parent process will be killed,
but the child process still exists.
kill child process before parent process terminates
if SIGTERM signal is received.

Some important feedbacks from v1&v2 are addressed as follows:
- Change the order so that current patch 3/3 becomes 1/3. Since without
the SIGTERM fix, the test would hang if run from the kselftest framework.
=> I changed the order and the SIGTERM fix now becomes patch [1/5].
- Describe that the test is run using the timeout utility and
it will send SIGTERM to the test upon timeout.
=> I updated the changelog to include this information.
- Describe changes in imperative mood, and address this in all patches.
See Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst for more details.
=> I described all my patches' changelog in imperative mood and
deleted "This commit".

This snippet is preceded with a comment that describes its usage
you could also update it with the expanded use of the kselftest framework.
=> I don't think it is necessary to add other comments.
Since the current comment already states "Register CTRL-C handler for parent,
as it has to kill benchmark before exiting", So, when SIGTERM comes,
the benchmark(child process) should be killed before parent process terminates,
but it was missing.

This looks good to me.
