Re: [PATCH 3/5] generic/403: don't spew '$GETFATTR_PROG: Killed' messages

Use a runfile presence check to control the background getfattr loop
instead of using kill -9.  This helps us to avoid the problem that
the controlling bash will print a process killed message, which wrecks
the golden output.

I saw this failure in automatic fstests runs occasionally, but could
never reproduce it manually. Thanks for fixing it!

I changed it to 'rm -f $runfile', dropped '-r'.

Thanks,
