[PATCH 5.12 676/700] selftests/vm/pkeys: handle negative sys_pkey_alloc() return code

[ Upstream commit bf68294a2ec39ed7fec6a5b45d52034e6983157a ]

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.
