selftests/futex: Fix incorrect result reporting of futex_requeue test item

When using the TEST_HARNESS_MAIN macro definition to declare the main
function, it is required to use the EXPECT*() and ASSERT*() macros in
conjunction and not ksft_test_result_*(). Otherwise, even if a test item
fails, the test will still return a success result because
ksft_test_result_*() does not affect the test harness state.

Convert the code to use EXPECT/ASSERT() variants, which ensures that the
overall test result is fail if one of the EXPECT()s fails.

[ tglx: Massaged change log to explain _why_ ksft_test_result*() is the wrong
choice ]
