Testing with the userfaultfd syscall doesn't require any special
permissions (root or otherwise).

But testing with /dev/userfaultfd will require access to that device
node, which is root:root by default, but the system administrator may
have changed this. In general I think this will only fail due to a)
lack of kernel support or b) lack of permissions though, so always
exiting with KSFT_SKIP here seems reasonable. I'll make that change in
v3.
