Subject[PATCH v3 5/5] selftests/resctrl: Fix resctrl_tests' return code to work with selftest framework
Date
In kselftest framework, if a sub test can not run by some reasons,
the test result should be marked as SKIP rather than FAIL.
Return KSFT_SKIP(4) instead of KSFT_FAIL(1) if resctrl_tests is not run
as root or it is run on a test environment which does not support resctrl.

- ksft_exit_fail_msg(): returns KSFT_FAIL(1)
- ksft_exit_skip(): returns KSFT_SKIP(4)

Some important feedbacks from v1&v2 are addressed as follows:

- It is important to highlight that a skipped test is marked
as successful to not unnecessarily report a feature failure
when there actually is a failure in the test environment.
=> I highligted this content in changelog as follows.
"In kselftest framework, if a test is not run by some reason,
the test result is marked as SKIP rather than FAIL."

- The subject line can be made more succinct while the details are
moved to the commit message.
=> I made subject line succinct and moved the details to changelog.

- How changing ksft_exit_fail_msg() to ksft_exit_skip() accomplishes
the goal of unifying the return code.
=> In changelog, I explained why return code KSFT_SKIP(4) is needed
in kselftest framework and the return code of each function.
