sigchld permission is "child terminated" signal. child processes need to
be able to send those to the parent process (in this case
"lvdisplay(lvm_t)" executed by the user, using the "BASH
shell(diskadm_role_t)"

This is a common event when doing a domain transition and therefore it
is also part of the domtrans_pattern() pattern. This is a pattern in
refpolicy that has all common permissions required to domain transition
