No need to set errno explicitly here since sched_setaffinity() is
defined to set errno if it returns -1.

TEST_ASSERT() already prints errno. It would be more useful to print
@pcpu to help the user debug the failure.

Also, use "()" after function names.

Since pinning vCPU is all or nothing, this can be a single bool instead
of per-vCPUs.

        /* True if vCPUs are pinned to pCPUs. */
        perf_test_args.pin_vcpus

        /* The pCPU to which this vCPU is pinned. Only valid if pin_vcpus is true. */
        perf_test_args.vcpus_args[i].pcpu

nite: Create a helper function for this since it's repeated twice.

Delete?

The return value is unused. Drop it until we have a usecase for it.
