Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] selftests: sched: skip cs_prctl_test for systems with core scheduling disabled

For kernels with CONFIG_SCHED_CORE=n, the sched selftest cs_prctl_test
fails with "Not a core sched system" error. Change this to gracefully
skip the test for systems with core scheduling disabled. Exiting early
would also ensure failures reported in obtaining cookie are valid
failures and not because core scheduling isn't supported.

Skip cs_prctl_test for systems with CONFIG_SCHED_CORE=n
