Subject: [PATCH 1/2] selftests/x86/signal: Adjust the test to the kernel's altstack check

The test assumes an insufficient altstack is allowed. Then it raises a
signal to test the delivery failure due to an altstack overflow.

The kernel now provides an option to tweak sigaltstack()'s sanity check to
prevent an insufficient altstack. ENOMEM is returned on the check failure.

Adjust the code to skip the test when this option is on.
