[PATCH v2 09/13] selftests/mm: skip uffd-wp-mremap if UFFD write-protect is unsupported

The uffd-wp-mremap test requires the UFFD_FEATURE_PAGEFAULT_FLAG_WP
capability. On systems where userfaultfd write-protect is
not supported, uffd_register() fails and the test reports failures.

Check for the required feature at startup and skip the test when the
UFFD_FEATURE_PAGEFAULT_FLAG_WP capability is not present,
preventing false failures on unsupported configurations.

Before patch:
 running ./uffd-wp-mremap
