x86/selftests/pkeys: Fork() to check for state being preserved
There was a bug where the per-mm pkey state was not being preserved across fork() in the child. fork() is performed in the pkey selftests, but all of the pkey activity is performed in the parent. The child does not perform any actions sensitive to pkey state. To make the test more sensitive to these kinds of bugs, add a fork() where the parent exits, and execution continues in the child. To achieve this let the key exhaustion test not terminate at the first allocation failure and fork after 2*NR_PKEYS loops and continue in the child.
