Subject: [PATCH 07/24] selftests: filesystems: return Kselftest Skip code for skipped tests

When devpts_pts test is skipped because of unmet dependencies and/or
unsupported configuration, it exits with error which is treated as
a fail by the Kselftest framework. This leads to false negative
result even when the test could not be run.

In another case, it returns pass for a skipped test reporting a false
postive.

Change it to return kselftest skip code when a test gets skipped to
clearly report that the test could not be run.

Change it to use ksft_exit_skip() when test is skipped.
