[PATCH v7 3/8] parisc: fix the exit status of arch/parisc/nm

[Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>]

parisc overrides 'nm' with a shell script. I do not know the reason,
but anyway it is how it has worked since 2003. [1]

A problem is that this script returns the exit code of grep instead of
${CROSS_COMPILE}nm.

grep(1) says:
    Normally the exit status is 0 if a line is selected, 1 if no lines
    were selected, and 2 if an error occurred. However, if the -q or
    --quiet or --silent is used and a line is selected, the exit status
    is 0 even if an error occurred.

When the given object has no symbol, grep returns 1, while the true nm
returns 0. Hence, build rules using ${NM} fail on ARCH=parisc even if
the given object is valid.

This commit corrects the exit status of the script.

 - A pipeline returns the exit status of the last command (here, grep).
   The exit status of ${CROSS_COMPILE}nm is just ignored. Use bash's
   pipefail flag to catch errors of ${CROSS_COMPILE}nm.

 - If grep returns 1, this script should return 0 in order to mimic
   true nm. If grep returns 2, it is a real and fatal error. Return
   it as is.
