Two testcases started to fail after the patch that added static modifier
to all global varibles. The cause was simple in these tests a variable
is changed in a signal handler while the value is used in a conditional
in the main loop. This code was incorrect to begin with, but the global
visibility avoided compiler optimizations to assume anything about the
variable value so it wasn't optimized out. Because of that it started to
fail only as a side efect of the patch.

The fix is also simple, all variables changed asynchrounously from a
signal handler has to be volatile.

Fixes: 8c22a59107dc (openposix: add "static" to all global variables and functions)
