Subject: [PATCH v4] riscv: selftests: Fix warnings pointer masking test

When compiling the pointer masking tests with -Wall this warning
is present:

pointer_masking.c: In function ‘test_tagged_addr_abi_sysctl’:
pointer_masking.c:203:9: warning: ignoring return value of ‘pwrite’
declared with attribute ‘warn_unused_result’ [-Wunused-result]
  203 |         pwrite(fd, &value, 1, 0); |
      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ pointer_masking.c:208:9: warning:
ignoring return value of ‘pwrite’ declared with attribute
‘warn_unused_result’ [-Wunused-result]
  208 |         pwrite(fd, &value, 1, 0);

I came across this on riscv64-linux-gnu-gcc (Ubuntu
11.4.0-1ubuntu1~22.04).

Fix this by checking that the number of bytes written equal the expected
number of bytes written.

Changes in v4:
- Skip sysctl_enabled test if first pwrite failed
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241205-fix_warnings_pointer_masking_tests-v3-1-5c28b0f9640d@rivosinc.com

Changes in v3:
- Fix sysctl enabled test case (Drew/Alex)
- Move pwrite err condition into goto (Drew)
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241204-fix_warnings_pointer_masking_tests-v2-1-1bf0c5095f58@rivosinc.com

Changes in v2:
- I had ret != 2 for testing, I changed it to be ret != 1.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241204-fix_warnings_pointer_masking_tests-v1-1-ea1e9665ce7a@rivosinc.com
