[ 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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
