Heh, you found and fixed _some of_ the vfork issues.  This whole mess completely
breaks existing tests that use TEST_F() and exit() with non-zero values to
indicate failure, including failures that occur during FIXTURE_SETUP().

E.g. all of the KVM selftests that use KVM_ONE_VCPU_TEST() are broken and will
always show all tests as passing.

The below gets things working for KVM selftests again, but (a) I have no idea if
it's a complete fix, (b) I don't know if it will break other users of the harness,
and (c) I don't understand why spawning a grandchild is the default behavior, i.e.
why usage that has zero need of separating teardown from setup+run is subjected to
the complexity of the handful of tests that do.
