tst-mallocfork2: Fix race condition, use fewer resources

The first SIGUSR1 signal could arrive when sigusr1_sender_pid
was still 0.  As a result, kill would send SIGSTOP to the
entire process group.  This would cause the test to hang before
printing any output.

This commit also adds a sched_yield to the signal source, so that
it does not flood the parent process with signals it has never a
chance to handle.

Even with these changes, tst-mallocfork2 still fails reliably
after the fix in commit commit 56290d6e762c1194547e73ff0b948cd79d3a1e03
(Increase fork signal safety for single-threaded processes) is
backed out.
