Subject: [PATCH 2/3] tools/hv: Fix exit() error code

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@...adent.org.uk>

Linux native exit codes are 8-bit unsigned values.  exit(-1) results
in an exit code of 255, which is usually reserved for shells reporting
'command not found'.  Use the portable value EXIT_FAILURE.  (Not that
this matters much for a daemon.)
