  KVM: selftests: Print a more helpful message for EACCESS in access tracking test (2025-06-20 13:39:11 -0700)

----------------------------------------------------------------
KVM selftests changes for 6.17

 - Fix a comment typo.

 - Verify KVM is loaded when getting any KVM module param so that attempting to
   run a selftest without kvm.ko loaded results in a SKIP message about KVM not
   being loaded/enabled, versus some random parameter not existing.

 - SKIP tests that hit EACCES when attempting to access a file, with a "Root
   required?" help message.  In most cases, the test just needs to be run with
   elevated permissions.
