    selftests/powerpc: Fix error handling in FPU/VMX preemption tests
    
    [ Upstream commit 9dbd5927408c4a0707de73ae9dd9306b184e8fee ]
    
    The FPU & VMX preemption tests do not check for errors returned by the
    low-level asm routines, preempt_fpu() / preempt_vsx() respectively.
    That means any register corruption detected by the asm routines does not
    result in a test failure.
    
    Fix it by returning the return value of the asm routines from the
    pthread child routines.
