[PATCH] coccicheck: return proper error code on check fail

From: efremov
Date: Fri Aug 10 2018 - 09:37:13 EST


If coccicheck finds errors, it should return an error code
distinct from zero. Current code instead of exiting with an
error code of coccinelle returns error code of
'echo "coccicheck failed"' which is almost always equals to zero,
thus failing original intention of alerting about errors.
This patch fixes the problem.
