malloc/tst-mallocfork2: Use process-shared barriers

This synchronization method has a lower overhead and makes
it more likely that the signal arrives during one of the critical
functions.

Also test for fork deadlocks explicitly.

malloc/tst-mallocfork2: Use process-shared barriers.
* malloc/tst-mallocfork2.c: Switch to <support/test-driver.c>.
(signal_count, sigusr1_sender_pid): Remove.
(iterations): Define constant.
(shared): New variable.
(sigusr1_received): Update comment.
(sigusr1_handler): Do not send SIGSTOP to the sender process.
(signal_sender): Optional use barriers to avoid sending signals
during irrelevant times.
(do_it): Initialize variable shared. Use xfork for error
checking. Launch multiple SIGUSR1-sending subprocesses. Limit
the iteration count, independent of signal delivery. Check for
deadlocks in fork. Introduce barriers for reducing signal
traffic. Do not send SIGCONT to the SIGUSR1-sending processes;
replaced by the barriers. Count signals during fork/free/malloc
and report them.
* malloc/Makefile (tst-mallocfork): Link with libpthread.
2019-05-07 Joseph Myers <joseph@codesourcery.com>
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/syscall-names.list: Update kernel
