From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
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.
