Add a skip() message function that stops the test, logs an explanation,

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.

PS: No need to send v4. The missing "to", suggested by Shuah, could
get added when pushing the patch into the repo.
I can't make changes to the patch. I can adjust the commit log at times
and correct merge conflicts.
I would like to see v4 for this.
We should clarify for which tree this and "[PATCH] selftests/livepatch:
push and pop dynamic debug config" would be merged. I had assumed this
would go to the livepatching tree, but Shuah, do you prefer that
selftest-centric patches go through the selftests tree?
I'm okay with either and can send up a v4 if needed. But also this
would be good to know for future changesets like this, we can perhaps
mark the destination branch in advance.
Thanks,
