TBH I haven't thought of this. Are you thinking that we shouldn't
interrupt the execution of deferred cleanups when SIGTERM arrives?
Fair point, but I think we'd need more code to handle that properly 🤔️
Right now we ignore SIGTERM which isn't great. After this patch we'll
no longer ignore it and have the whole test exit. Neither actually
catches the exception and sets stop=True in ksft_run()..

WDYT about leaving this patch as is and doing this on top:
