Shaopeng Tan April 13, 2023, 7:22 a.m. UTC 
  After creating a child process with fork() in CAT test, if an error
occurs when parent process runs cat_val() or check_results(), the child
process will not be killed and also resctrlfs is not unmounted. Also if
an error occurs when child process runs cat_val() or check_results(),
the parent process will wait for the pipe message from the child process
which will never be sent by the child process and the parent process
cannot proceed to unmount resctrlfs.

Synchronize the exits between the parent and child. An error could
occur whether in parent process or child process. The parent process
always kills the child process and runs umount_resctrlfs(). The
child process always waits to be killed by the parent process.
