[PATCH 1/2] kselftests: set-timer-lat: tweak reporting when timer fires early

From: Greg Hackmann
Date: Tue Jul 25 2017 - 17:37:28 EST


Rather than printing an error inside the alarm signal handler, set a
flag that we check later. This keeps the test from spamming the console
every time the alarm fires early. It also fixes the test exiting with
error code 0 if this was the only test failure.
