perf tests: Fix to get negative exit codes

WEXITSTATUS consists of the least significant 8 bits of the status
argument, so we should convert the value to signed char if we have valid
negative exit codes. And the return value of test->func() contains
negative values:

  enum {
          TEST_OK   =  0,
          TEST_FAIL = -1,
          TEST_SKIP = -2,
  };

Before this patch:

  $ perf test -v 1
  ...
  test child finished with 254
  ---- end ----
  vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: FAILED!

After this patch:

  $ perf test -v 1
  ...
  test child finished with -2
  ---- end ----
  vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Skip
