If mnl_socket_open() or mnl_socket_bind() fails, it's generally due to
not having the user space parts fully installed and configured
correctly. This was previously ignored and reported as a test PASS, but
what really happened is that the tests were being skipped. This led to
generating inaccurate TAP output (I've omitted the leading '#'
character):

   Totals: pass:3 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0

Fix this by using kselftest's SKIP() macro. The new output on the same
misconfigured system shows:

    Totals: pass:0 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:3 error:0

This was briefly discussed already with Felix Huettner [1].
