Get rid of this comment.

This change moves several tests under this check. These should run to test
the case when MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED isn't supported. This change
reduces coverage.

There skip handling missing here. Without this the test result reports
pass which is incorrect.

If feature isn't supported, test should report that the feature test is
skipped not passed.

What I would like to see here is a skip for each individual test not one
skip for all 3 tests.

This applies to the if (supported & MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_SYNC_CORE)
case above.

When I run this test on 4.19 I see, 

TAP version 13
selftests: membarrier: membarrier_test
========================================
ok 1 sys_membarrier available
ok 2 sys membarrier invalid command test: command = -1, flags = 0, errno = 22. Failed as expected
ok 3 sys membarrier MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY invalid flags test: flags = 1, errno = 22. Failed as expected
ok 4 sys membarrier MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL test: flags = 0
ok 5 sys membarrier MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED not registered failure test: flags = 0, errno = 1
ok 6 sys membarrier MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED test: flags = 0
ok 7 sys membarrier MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED test: flags = 0
ok 8 sys membarrier MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_SYNC_CORE not registered failure test: flags = 0, errno = 1
ok 9 sys membarrier MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_SYNC_CORE test: flags = 0
ok 10 sys membarrier MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_SYNC_CORE test: flags = 0
ok 11 sys membarrier MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED test: flags = 0
ok 12 sys membarrier MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED test: flags = 0
ok 13 sys membarrier MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED test: flags = 0
Pass 13 Fail 0 Xfail 0 Xpass 0 Skip 0 Error 0
1..13
ok 1..1 selftests: membarrier: membarrier_test [PASS]

A total of 13 tests out of which, maybe 6 should be skips on 4.14. For example,
if MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED isn't supported, it should report that test
as a skip.
