Since a7c01fa9 ("signal: break out of wait loops on kthread_stop()")
kthread_stop() started asserting a pending signal which wreaks havoc with
a few of our selftests. Mainly because they are not fully expecting to
handle signals, but also cutting the intended test runtimes short due
signal_pending() now returning true (via __igt_timeout), which therefore
breaks both the patterns of:

  kthread_run()
  ..sleep for igt_timeout_ms to allow test to exercise stuff..
  kthread_stop()

And check for errors recorded in the thread.

And also:

    Main thread  |   Test thread
  ---------------+------------------------------
  kthread_run()  |
  kthread_stop() |  do stuff until __igt_timeout
		 |  -- exits early due signal --

Where this kthread_stop() was assume would have a "join" semantics, which
it would have had if not the new signal assertion issue.

To recap, threads are now likely to catch a previously impossible
ERESTARTSYS or EINTR, marking the test as failed, or have a pointlessly
short run time.

To work around this start using kthread_work(er) API which provides
an explicit way of waiting for threads to exit. And for cases where
parent controls the test duration we add explicit signaling which threads
will now use instead of relying on kthread_should_stop().
