[PATCH v2 2/9] selftests/mm: Fix assumption that sudo is present

[Brendan Jackman]

If we are root, sudo isn't needed. If we are not root, we need sudo, so
skip the test if it isn't present.

We already do this for on-fault-limit, but this uses separate
infrastructure since that is specifically for sudo-ing to the nobody
user.

Note this ptrace_skip configuration still fails if that file doesn't
exist, but in that case the test is still fine, so this just prints an
error but doesn't break anything. I suspect that's probably deliberate.
