[PATCH V2 19/19] selftests/resctrl: Fix checking for < 0 for unsigned values

[Sai Praneeth Prakhya <sai.praneeth.prakhya@intel.com>]

Dan reported that he noticed following static checker warnings

	tools/testing/selftests/resctrl/resctrl_val.c:545 measure_vals()
	warn: 'bw_imc' unsigned <= 0

	tools/testing/selftests/resctrl/resctrl_val.c:549 measure_vals()
	warn: 'bw_resc_end' unsigned <= 0

These warnings are reported because
1. measure_vals() declares 'bw_imc' and 'bw_resc_end' as unsigned long
   variables
2. Return value of get_mem_bw_imc() and get_mem_bw_resctrl() are assigned
   to 'bw_imc' and 'bw_resc_end' respectively
3. The return values are checked for <=0 to see if the calls were
   successful or not

Checking for < 0 for an unsigned value doesn't make any sense. So, to
fix this issue, change the implementation of get_mem_bw_imc() and
get_mem_bw_resctrl() such that they now accept reference to a variable
and set the variable appropriately upon success and return 0, else return
<0 on error.
