[PATCH] proc: hide "segfault at ffffffffff600000" dmesg spam

From: Alexey Dobriyan
Date: Fri May 24 2019 - 14:16:06 EST


Test tries to access vsyscall page and if it doesn't exist gets SIGSEGV
which can spam into dmesg. However the segfault happens by design.
Handle it and carry information via exit code to parent.
