You're right, if we test sigaction(), then the code should be put into
kernel/syscalls/sigaction/sigaction03.c.

Maybe we can try:

static void run(void)
{
    struct sigaction act = {
        .sa_handler = SIG_IGN,
    };

    int ret;

    ret = sigaction(SIGKILL, &act, NULL);
    if (ret == -1 && errno == EINVAL) {
        tst_res(TPASS, "sigaction(SIGKILL) failed as expected with EINVAL");
    } else {
        tst_res(TFAIL, ...);
    }

    ret = sigaction(SIGSTOP, &act, NULL);
    If (ret == -1 && errno == EINVAL) {
        tst_res(TPASS, "sigaction(SIGSTOP) failed as expected with EINVAL");
    } else {
        tst_res(TFAIL, ...);
    }
}
