Dave Hansen 328f60fa16 selftests/vm/pkeys: handle negative sys_pkey_alloc() return code 
[ Upstream commit bf68294a2e ]

The alloc_pkey() sefltest function wraps the sys_pkey_alloc() system call.
On success, it updates its "shadow" register value because
sys_pkey_alloc() updates the real register.

But, the success check is wrong.  pkey_alloc() considers any non-zero
return code to indicate success where the pkey register will be modified.
This fails to take negative return codes into account.

Consider only a positive return value as a successful call.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
