Subject: [PATCH 1/2] kselftests: set-timer-lat: tweak reporting when timer fires early

Rather than printing an error inside the alarm signal handler, set a
flag that we check later.  This keeps the test from spamming the console
every time the alarm fires early.  It also fixes the test exiting with
error code 0 if this was the only test failure.
