The uffd-wp-mremap test requires the UFFD_FEATURE_PAGEFAULT_FLAG_WP
capability. On systems where userfaultfd write-protect is
not supported, uffd_register() fails and the test reports failures.

Check for the required feature at startup and skip the test when the
UFFD_FEATURE_PAGEFAULT_FLAG_WP capability is not present,
preventing false failures on unsupported configurations.

Likely that function should be called

"check_uffd_wp_feature_supported()"

Because right now it reads as if it would be returning a bool.

Thanks for the review. I'll rename it to
"check_uffd_wp_feature_supported()" in the next version.
