selftests/resctrl: Fix null pointer dereference on open failed

Currently if opening /dev/null fails to open then file pointer fp
is null and further access to fp via fprintf will cause a null
pointer dereference. Fix this by returning a negative error value
when a null fp is detected.

Detected using cppcheck static analysis:
tools/testing/selftests/resctrl/fill_buf.c:124:6: note: Assuming
that condition '!fp' is not redundant
 if (!fp)
     ^
tools/testing/selftests/resctrl/fill_buf.c:126:10: note: Null
pointer dereference
 fprintf(fp, "Sum: %d ", ret);
