[RFC PATCH v2] perf test: Improve bp_signal

Will Deacon [1] has some question on patch [2]. This patch improves
test__bp_signal so we can test:

 1. A watchpoint and a breakpoint that fire on the same instruction
 2. Nested signals

Test result:

 On x86_64 and ARM64 (result are similar with patch [2] on ARM64):

 # ./perf test -v signal
 17: Test breakpoint overflow signal handler                  :
 --- start ---
 test child forked, pid 10213
 count1 1, count2 3, count3 2, overflow 3, overflows_2 3
 test child finished with 0
 ---- end ----
 Test breakpoint overflow signal handler: Ok

So at least 2 cases Will doubted are handled correctly.

v1 -> v2: Improve readability, fix typo. Thanks to Jiri Olsa.

To Jiri: I guess you will be okay to provide your SOB for your code at [3],
         so I add it in this v2 patch.
