Andy Lutomirski d34ecdc971 selftests/x86/ldt_gdt_32: Work around a glibc sigaction() bug
commit 65973dd3fd31151823f4b8c289eebbb3fb7e6bc0 upstream.

i386 glibc is buggy and calls the sigaction syscall incorrectly.

This is asymptomatic for normal programs, but it blows up on
programs that do evil things with segmentation.  The ldt_gdt
self-test is an example of such an evil program.

This doesn't appear to be a regression -- I think I just got lucky
with the uninitialized memory that glibc threw at the kernel when I
wrote the test.

This hackish fix manually issues sigaction(2) syscalls to undo the
damage.  Without the fix, ldt_gdt_32 segfaults; with the fix, it
passes for me.
