If the selftest is not running as root, it should fail and
give an appropriate warning to the user. This patch adds
ksft_exit_fail_msg() if the test is not running as root.

This change introduces a problem - skip is the right exit code
when a test requires root privileges.


Logs:

Before change:

TAP version 13
1..1
ok 1 # SKIP This test needs root to run!

After change:

TAP version 13
1..1
Bail out! Error : Need to run as root# Planned tests != run tests (1 != 0)
Totals: pass:0 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0

You can change this to ksft_exit_skip and keep the same message.
-               return 1;
+               ksft_exit_fail_msg("Error : Need to run as root");

This is incorrect - should be skip not fail. There is no need to
change the message.
