If the f_mmp test is interrupted during its test run, then it can
leave debugfs busy-looping in the background.  Since f_mmp is a
relatively long-running test, and is likely to be running during
a parallel test run, this can happen fairly often.

Set a signal trap for the f_mmp test script being killed, so that
the background debugfs command will always be killed by the test.

Thanks, applied.
Oops, I'm going to guess you didn't test your patch after making a
last minute change to it.  I had to make the following change to the
f_mmp script to fix a problem where kill would complain about a
non-existing process id (because it was triyng to kill the already
exited awk process):
diff --git a/tests/f_mmp/script b/tests/f_mmp/script
