Series selftests: cachestat: fix run on older kernels | expand

Commit Message

As cachestat is a new syscall, it won't be available on older kernels,
for instance those running on a development machine. At the moment the
test reports all tests as "not ok" in this case.

Test for the cachestat syscall availability first, before doing further
tests, and bail out early with a TAP SKIP comment.

This also uses the opportunity to add the proper TAP headers, and add
one check for proper error handling (illegal file descriptor).
