Subject: [PATCH] selftests/net: skip msg_zerocopy test if we have less than 4 CPUs

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The current test will exit with a failure if it cannot set affinity on
specific CPUs which is problematic when running this on single CPU
systems. Add a check for the number of CPUs and skip the test if
the CPU requirement is not met.
