This test case fails on s390 because some counters metrics
are not available and the metric defined on them fail.
Add s390x specific list of metrics to be skipped.

Add an extra line to display which metric has been skipped.
It is shown with the verbose option turned on.

Also return "Ok" instead of "Skipped" when no errors
have been detected, but some metric have been skipped.
The seems more logical otherwise "Skipped" means all
metric tests have been skipped instead of just a few.

Thanks Thomas, I believe the intent with these metrics is they don't
fail but report unsupported for their counters. There's been some
discussion here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/aRi9xnwdLh3Dir9f@google.com/
with Namhyung and James pointing out the issue on AMD and ARM, and me
being confused we Intel isn't failing similarly for events like itlb
accesses that Intel doesn't support. I'll try to find time to dig into
the issue.

Thanks,
Ian
