From: "Zenghui Yu (Huawei)" <zenghui.yu@linux.dev>
The ksft_exit*() helpers such as ksft_exit_fail_msg() are declared
__noreturn, and the ksft_exit() and ksft_finished() macros expand to calls
of them, always terminating the process via exit(). Any return statements
following such calls are unreachable, both at the end of main() and on
error paths of helper functions.
Remove all of them. No functional change.
