  From the GNU C Library manual the pkey_set can receive a combination of
PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE and PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS.  However PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS
is more restrictive than PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE and includes its behavior.

The test expects that after setting
(PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE|PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS) pkey_get should return the
same.  This may not be true as PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS will succeed in
describe the state of the key in this case.

The pkey behavior during signal handling is different between x86 and
POWER.  This change make the test compatible with both architectures.

Hi,

This test still needs the patch on the link to work on POWER.
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-05/msg00760.html

in V3:
	- Commit message changes.
	- Add comments.

in V2:
	- Fix signal handling expectations to accept x86 and POWER behavior.

Please indent the comment as usual.  I think on POWER, the permissions
are inherited by the interrupted thread (there are no default
permissions for signal handlers).

Thanks,
