test_shadow_stack prints a message indicating that the test is
skipped in some cases, but still returns 1. This causes the test
to be reported as failed instead of skipped.

Return KSFT_SKIP in the skip path so the result is reported
correctly.

v2:
- return SKIP only for "Could not enable Shadow stack" case
- Changed message from SKIP to FAIL for remaining cases

same here.

Can you please stick to https://lore.kernel.org/all/3205f6e7-bf02-4fb4-ab03-278447c17f70@virtuozzo.com/ more closely.
