perf/signal: rewrite code in assembly to avoid compiler optimizations

Without this change, the assembly code of this test compiled without
optimizations:

mov    -0x150(%rbp),%rax
movl   $0x77777777,(%rax)
lea    -0x128(%rbp),%rax

with optimizations:

movl   $0x77777777,0x0

This code doesn't work properly, because the test changes rax in the segv
handler.
