selftests/resctrl: Fix null pointer dereference on open failed
[ Upstream commit c7b607fa9325ccc94982774c505176677117689c ]
Currently if opening /dev/null fails to open then file pointer fp
is null and further access to fp via fprintf will cause a null
pointer dereference. Fix this by returning a negative error value
when a null fp is detected.
Detected using cppcheck static analysis:
tools/testing/selftests/resctrl/fill_buf.c:124:6: note: Assuming
that condition '!fp' is not redundant
if (!fp)
^
tools/testing/selftests/resctrl/fill_buf.c:126:10: note: Null
pointer dereference
fprintf(fp, "Sum: %d ", ret);
Fixes: a2561b12fe39 ("selftests/resctrl: Add built in benchmark")
