The FPU & VMX preemption tests do not check for errors returned by the
low-level asm routines, preempt_fpu() / preempt_vsx() respectively.
That means any register corruption detected by the asm routines does not
result in a test failure.
Fix it by returning the return value of the asm routines from the
pthread child routines.

Some of our tests use VSX or newer VMX instructions, so need to be
skipped on older CPUs to avoid SIGILL'ing.
Similarly TAR was added in v2.07, and the PMU event used in the stcx
fail test only works on Power8 or later.
