[PATCH] ktest: Store failure logs also in fatal paths

From: Ricardo B. Marlière

Date: Wed Mar 18 2026 - 15:00:59 EST


STORE_FAILURES was only saved from fail(), so paths that reached dodie()
could exit without preserving failure logs.

That includes fatal hook paths such as:

POST_BUILD_DIE = 1

and ordinary failures when:

DIE_ON_FAILURE = 1

Call save_logs("fail", ...) from dodie() too so fatal failures keep the
same STORE_FAILURES artifacts as non-fatal fail() paths.
