Subject: [PATCH 3/4] spi: spidev_test: Use perror() only if errno is not 0

It is better to use perror() only if errno is not 0, it should use printf()
when errno is 0, otherwise there exists redudant ": Success".

E.g. without this patch:

$ ./spidev_test -p 1234 --input test.bin
only one of -p and --input may be selected: Success
Aborted (core dumped)

With this patch:

$ ./spidev_test -p 1234 --input test.bin
only one of -p and --input may be selected
Aborted (core dumped)
