xfs/{422,517}: kill background jobs on test termination
Those tests failed to cleanup background jobs properly after test
is interrupted and even sometimes when it completed succefully.
xfs/517 would sometime fails randomally with this false positive error:
QA output created by 517
Format and populate
Concurrent fsmap and freeze
+Terminated
Test done
The tests have several background sub-shells that spawn short lived
programs in a loop. By killing the spawned programs using killall,
killall could find no process to kill and the sub-shell loop could still
spawn another process that is not going to be killed and in the worst
case, the freeze_loop() could spawn the xfs_io "freeze" command after
test has thawn the fs before exit, which leaves the fs frozen after the
test.
The "Terminated" output is emitted by the sub-shell when killing the
programs that it has spawned when the loop did not finish before test
timeout. By killing the sub-shell and not the spawned programs, we
avoid the false positive "Terminated" error.
Use a helper to perform this cleanup dance:
First kill and wait the freeze_loop so it won't try to freeze fs again
Then make sure fs is not frozen.
Then kill and wait for the rest of the sub-shells, because
if fs is frozen a killed writer process will never exit.
