Many tests require specific hardware features/configurations that a
typical machine might not have. As a result, it's common to see a test
is skipped. But it is tedious to find out why a test is skipped
when all it gives is the file location of the skip macro.
Convert SKIP_IF() to SKIP_IF_MSG(), with appropriate descriptions of why
the test is being skipped. This gives a general idea of why a test is
skipped, which can be looked into further if it doesn't make sense.

- malloc() does not zero the buffer,
- fread() does not null-terminate it's output,
- `cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern | hexdump -C` shows the file is
not inherently null-terminated
So using string operations on the buffer is risky. Explicitly add a null
character to the end to make it safer.

The Power ISA mandates that all writes to the Authority
Mask Register (AMR) must always be preceded as well as
succeeded by a context synchronizing instruction.
This makes sure that the tests follow this requirement
when attempting to update a pkey's access rights.

Current core-pkey selftest fails if the test runs without privileges to
write into the core pattern file (/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern). This
causes the test to fail and give the impression that the subsystem being
tested is broken, when, in fact, the test is being executed without the
proper privileges. This is the current error:
test: core_pkey
tags: git_version:v4.19-3-g9e3363be9bce-dirty
Error writing to core_pattern file: Permission denied
failure: core_pkey
This patch simply skips this test if it runs without the proper privileges,
avoiding this undesired failure.

This test verifies that the AMR, IAMR and UAMOR are being written to a
process' core file.
