perf_event_open_llc_miss() calls ctrlc_handler() to cleanup if perf_event_open() returns an error. Those cleanups, however, are not the responsability of perf_event_open_llc_miss() and it thus interferes unnecessarily with the usual cleanup pattern. Worse yet, ctrlc_handler() calls exit() in the end preventing the ordinary cleanup done in the calling function from executing.
ctrlc_handler() should only be used as a signal handler, not during normal error handling.
Remove call to ctrlc_handler() from perf_event_open_llc_miss(). As unmounting resctrlfs and test cleanup are already handled properly by error rollbacks in the calling functions, no other changes are necessary.
