selftests/mm: fix child process exit codes in ksm_functional_tests

In ksm_functional_tests, test_child_ksm() returned negative values to
indicate errors.  However, when passed to exit(), these were interpreted
as large unsigned values (e.g, -2 became 254), leading to incorrect
handling in the parent process.  As a result, some tests appeared to be
skipped or silently failed.

This patch changes test_child_ksm() to return positive error codes (1, 2,
3) and updates test_child_ksm_err() to interpret them correctly. 
Additionally, test_prctl_fork_exec() now uses exit(4) after a failed
execv() to clearly signal exec failures.  This ensures the parent
accurately detects and reports child process failures.

--------------
Before patch:
--------------
- [RUN] test_unmerge
ok 1 Pages were unmerged
...
- [RUN] test_prctl_fork
- No pages got merged
- [RUN] test_prctl_fork_exec
ok 7 PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE value is inherited
...
Bail out! 1 out of 8 tests failed
- Planned tests != run tests (9 != 8)
- Totals: pass:7 fail:1 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0

After patch:

not ok 7 Merge in child failed
- [RUN] test_prctl_fork_exec
