Hi!

When tst-pselect.c fails (quite often when running on kernel that
doesn't have pselect6 syscall, because pselect is then not atomic,
but even 2.6.18 x86_64 kernel it fails rather quickly with pselect6
syscall when running while misc/tst-pselect; do :; done), test-skeleton.c
only kills its immediate child, while the other child sticks around
forever.

The following patch is one possibility to avoid this:

	* misc/tst-pselect.c (do_test): Break the child loop if
	parent was killed by timeout handler.
