Public bug reported:

Commits below added re-do loops that can get stuck forever

6f87db7031632554 stress-sysfs: add some illegal read calls to see if we can 
break sysfs
f4af122d7d081795 stress-procfs: add some illegal read calls to see if we can 
break procfs

This can be triggered if we are running multiple procfs or sysfs
stressors as root and we hit a SIGALRM from the -t option and we are in
the new extra stress read call code paths that were added by the above
commits.

Fix committed: 35e6642a6f72fa8a2dd650b8ce89074ee8a91500 ("stress-
procfs/sysfs: abort rather than re-doing reads on read errors")
