[PATCH v2] selftests/livepatch: add test skip handling

[Joe Lawrence <joe.lawrence@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Add a skip() message function that stops the test, logs an explanation,
and sets the "skip" return code (4).

Before loading a livepatch self-test kernel module, first verify that
we've built and installed it by running a 'modprobe --dry-run'.  This
should catch a few environment issues, including !CONFIG_LIVEPATCH and
!CONFIG_TEST_LIVEPATCH.  In these cases, exit gracefully with the new
skip() function.

v2: move assert_mod() call into load_mod() and load_lp_nowait(), before
    they check whether the module is a livepatch or not (a test-failing
    assertion).
