[PATCH] sunrpc: Properly clean up if tst-udp-timeout fails

[Matheus Castanho <msc at linux dot ibm dot com>]

Hi Florian,

I have experimented with the options you listed above, but will probably
leave them for a future patch, as a generic solution will likely require more
careful consideration.

For the moment I dropped the extra TEST_VERIFY macro and fixed this single
test using the atexit() approach you pointed. I think it is preferable to
removing the TEST_VERIFY_EXIT calls, as without them we would have to run
the entire test (17-25 secs) even if an error ocurred in the beginning.
Also, I don't think we need to add more complexity to this test (e.g.
moving the client to a subprocess), as it already has a lot going on, so
I opted for this simpler approach.

The updated patch is below.

Thanks,
Matheus Castanho

The macro TEST_VERIFY_EXIT is used several times on
sunrpc/tst-udp-timeout to exit the test if a condition evaluates to
false. The side effect is that the code to terminate the RPC server
process is not executed when the program calls exit(), so that
sub-process stays alive.

This commit registers a clean up function with atexit() to kill the
server process before exiting the main program.
