Fix Bug 239 OpenIB diag scripts don't return error when lacking umad
permissions. Returning the error from the head of a shell pipeline is a
problem, so this fix causes the awk scripts to pass error messages through.
This will pass all standard error messages.
This patch needs [ofa-general] [PATCH] infiniband-diags: Add common flags

Wouldn't it be simpler just exit instead of running awk over already
broken output?
Like:
if [ $rv -ne 0 ] ; then
echo $test
exit $rv
fi
echo $text | awk ...

Upon failure, sending the full output of the eval'd expression to
standard output is not very useful, especially since the normal output
of the various scripts is to suppress most of that. However, embedded
within the text there are likely to be error messages that explain what
went wrong, which is why there are new parts to the awk script catching
/^ib/ /ibpanic:/ /ibwarn:/ /iberror:/ and passing them through..
Running awk over already broken output has been happening all along with
these scripts, so it does not create a new problem.
We could define two awk scripts, one for success and one for failure,
but I think that is more complex than it needs to be. The failure case
is supposed to be unusual, and the processing time for the awk script
was expected if there was success, so this isn't a particular waste of
system resources.
If we knew all of the usage cases for these scripts, we could probably
do something better, but since some of these scripts have been in
distribution for a while, I felt it best to avoid changing the
processing cycle and output as much as possible while still adding a
report of failures.
