    selftests/resctrl: Skip the test if requested resctrl feature is not supported · f1dd7198

    There could be two reasons why a resctrl feature might not be enabled on
    the platform
    1. H/W might not support the feature
    2. Even if the H/W supports it, the user might have disabled the feature
       through kernel command line arguments
    
    Hence, any resctrl unit test (like cmt, cat, mbm and mba) before starting
    the test will first check if the feature is enabled on the platform or not.
    If the feature isn't enabled, then the test returns with an error status.
    For example, if MBA isn't supported on a platform and if the user tries to
    run MBA, the output will look like this
    
    ok mounting resctrl to "/sys/fs/resctrl"
    not ok MBA: schemata change
    
    But, not supporting a feature isn't a test failure. So, instead of treating
    it as an error, use the SKIP directive of the TAP protocol. With the
    change, the output will look as below
    
    ok MBA # SKIP Hardware does not support MBA or MBA is disabled
