[PATCH v3 02/29] selftests/resctrl: Return -1 instead of errno on error

A number of functions in the resctrl selftests return errno. It is
problematic because errno is positive which is often counterintuitive.
Also, every sites returning errno prints the error message already with
ksft_perror() so there is not much added value in returning the precise
error code.

Simply convert all places returning errno to return -1 that is typical
userspace error code in case of failures.

While at it, improve resctrl_val() comment to state that 0 means the
test was run (either pass or fail).
