[PATCH 0/2] selftests: riscv: vector: Fix the checks of the child's exit status

Two fixes for vstate_exec_nolibc, found through a kernel test robot
warning [1]. Patch 1 checks the return value of waitpid(), which GCC
warns about. Patch 2 fixes a check which never matches, so that a child
reporting a failure no longer lets the tests pass.

Tested in QEMU (virt, rv64 with and without V) on a v7.3-rc1 defconfig
kernel, running vstate_prctl as init:

- vstate_prctl passes 13/13 with and without the series.
- With the child's vstate_ctrl check forced to fail, it still passes
  13/13 without patch 2, and fails the 6 affected tests with it.
- The warning is gone with GCC 14.2 and 16.2.
