Ravi Bangoria 3c723f4497 perf test: Fix lock contention test
Couple of independent fixes:

1. Wire in SIGSEGV handler that terminates the test with a failure code.

2. Use "--lock-cgroup" instead of "-g"; "-g" was proposed but never
   merged. See commit 4d1792d0a2 ("perf lock contention: Add
   --lock-cgroup option")

3. Call cleanup() on every normal exit so trap_cleanup() doesn't mistake
   it for an unexpected signal and emit a false-negative "Unexpected
   signal in main" message.

Before patch:

  # ./perf test -vv "lock contention"
   85: kernel lock contention analysis test:
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 610711
  Testing perf lock record and perf lock contention
  Testing perf lock contention --use-bpf
  Testing perf lock record and perf lock contention at the same time
  Testing perf lock contention --threads
  Testing perf lock contention --lock-addr
  Testing perf lock contention --lock-cgroup
  Unexpected signal in test_aggr_cgroup
  ---- end(0) ----
   85: kernel lock contention analysis test                            : Ok

After patch:

  # ./perf test -vv "lock contention"
   85: kernel lock contention analysis test:
  --- start ---

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
