If the selftest is not running as root, it should skip not
fail and give an appropriate warning to the user. This patch adds
ksft_exit_skip() if the test is not running as root.

Logs:

Before change:

TAP version 13
1..1
ok 1 # SKIP This test needs root to run!

After change:

TAP version 13
1..1
ok 2 # SKIP This test needs root to run!
Totals: pass:0 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:1 error:0
