Subject: [PATCH 1/2] selftests/mm: refactor common code and improve test skipping in guard_region

Move the generic `FORCE_READ` macro from `guard-regions.c` to the shared
`vm_util.h` header to promote code reuse.

In `guard-regions.c`, replace `ksft_exit_skip()` with the `SKIP()` macro
to ensure only the current test is skipped on permission failure, instead
of terminating the entire test binary.
