Subject: [PATCH v2] selftests: acct: fix grammar and clarify output messages - Fixed email case mismatch in Signed-off-by

Hi, i already sent version 2 as a new thread 2 days ago
but found out that i should also send as reply to
the original thread so here it is.

v2 changes:
- Fixed email case mismatch in Signed-off-by

This patch improves the clarity and grammar of output messages
in the acct() selftest. Minor changes were made to
user-facing strings and comments to make them easier to understand
and more consistent with the kselftest style.

Changes include:
- Fixing grammar in printed messages and comments.
- Rewording error and success outputs for clarity and professionalism.
- Making the "root check" message more direct.

These updates improve readability without affecting test logic or behavior.
