[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v1 3/5] tests/tcg: fix diff-out pass to properly report failure

["Alex Bennée" <alex.bennee@linaro.org>]

A side effect of piping the output to head is squash the exit status
of the diff command. Fix this by only doing the pipe if the diff
failed and then ensuring the status is non-zero.
