[0/2] selftests: add ksft_exit_fail_perror()

Message

In this series, ksft_exit_fail_perror() is being added which is helper
function on top of ksft_exit_fail_msg(). It prints errno and its string
form always. After writing and porting several kselftests, I've found
out that most of times ksft_exit_fail_msg() isn't useful if errno value
isn't printed. The ksft_exit_fail_perror() provides a convenient way to
always print errno when its used.

  selftests: add ksft_exit_fail_perror()
  selftests: exec: Use new ksft_exit_fail_perror() helper
