Subject: [PATCH] selftests/ipc: skip msgque test if MSG_COPY is not supported

The msgque test uses the MSG_COPY flag, which depends on
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE. On kernels where this option is disabled,
msgrcv() fails with ENOSYS.

Currently, the test reports this as a failure:

Change it to skip the test instead, as the failure is due to missing
kernel configuration rather than a bug in the IPC subsystem.
 # selftests: ipc: msgque
 # not ok 1 Failed to copy IPC message: Function not implemented (38)
 # not ok 2 Failed to dump queue: -38

After this patch, the test reports a skip instead of failure:
1..0 # SKIP MSG_COPY not supported
