    rtla/timerlat_top: Fix on-threshold actions firing on signal

    A bug was reported when rtla-timerlat-top tool performs on-threshold
    actions, even though no threshold was hit. This is reproduced even if no
    threshold is set at all:

    $ rtla timerlat top -q -c 0 --on-threshold shell,command='echo BAD'
    BAD
                                         Timer Latency
    ...

    The bug is due to incorrect logic in timerlat_top_bpf_main_loop().
    The loop uses timerlat_bpf_wait(), the return values of which are:

    - > 0 (number of ringbuffer entries): at least 1 CPU hit threshold
    - = 0: time out
    - < 0: wait was interrupted by a signal

    Commit 3138df6f0cd0 ("rtla/timerlat: Exit top main loop on any non-zero
    wait_retval") changed the condition for "threshold hit" from
    "wait_reval == 1" (exactly 1 CPU hit threshold) to "wait_retval != 0",
    to fix a race where multiple CPUs hit the threshold at the same time.

    That also made it incorrectly include a signal (< 0), coming from either
    duration expired (SIGALRM) or user interrupt (SIGINT).

    Check for wait_retval greater than zero in the if condition to cover all
    return values correctly.

    Fixes: 3138df6f0cd0 ("rtla/timerlat: Exit top main loop on any non-zero wait_retval")
