selftests/harness: Fix tests timeout and race condition

We cannot use CLONE_VFORK because we also need to wait for the timeout
signal.

Restore tests timeout by using the original fork() call in __run_test()
but also in __TEST_F_IMPL().  Also fix a race condition when waiting for
the test child process.

Because test metadata are shared between test processes, only the
parent process must set the test PID (child).  Otherwise, t->pid may be
set to zero, leading to inconsistent error cases:

  #  RUN           layout1.rule_on_mountpoint ...
  # rule_on_mountpoint: Test ended in some other way [127]
  #            OK  layout1.rule_on_mountpoint
  ok 20 layout1.rule_on_mountpoint

As safeguards, initialize the "status" variable with a valid exit code,
and handle unknown test exits as errors.

The use of fork() introduces a new race condition in landlock/fs_test.c
which seems to be specific to hostfs bind mounts, but I haven't found
the root cause and it's difficult to trigger.  I'll try to fix it with
another patch.
