The test assumes an insufficient altstack is allowed. Then it raises a
signal to test the delivery failure due to an altstack overflow.
The kernel now provides the STRICT_SIGALTSTACK_SIZE option to tweak
sigaltstack()'s sanity check to prevent an insufficient altstack.
ENOMEM is returned on the check failure.
Adjust the code to skip the test when this option is on.
