Subject: [PATCH 5/5] selftests: simplify kmod failure value

From: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@...nel.org>

The "odd" 256 value was just an issue with the umh never
wrapping it around with WEXITSTATUS() for us. Now that it
does that, we can use a sane value / name for the selftest,
and this is no longer a oddity.

We add a way to detect this for older kernels, and support
the old return value for kernel code where it was given.

This never affected userspace.
