The memlock test analyzes /proc/*/status files and expects the layout
from Linux in there. However, these files also exist on NetBSD hosts
with a completely different layout, causing this test to fail. Thus
limit the test to Linux hosts now.

IMHO this should be done with a decorator in the test program, so
we keep all conditions in the source, not meson.

If we already know here that the test will only SKIP during runtime, I think
there is no need to add it to the test plan. Otherwise this will just always
waste some cycles when running the tests.

One could say the same about many of the things we check in the @skip
decorators. The time saved by doing it in meson is negligible, and
also ensures it is skipped if anyone runs the test program directly
outside meson.

Ok, fair point, since we support running the tests without the meson test runner, it makes sense to check via decorator, indeed. I'll send a v2.
