As cachestat is a new syscall, it won't be available on older kernels, for instance those running on a build machine. In this case, a run reports all tests as "not ok" at the moment.
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 the syscall error handling (illegal file descriptor).

-1 is an illegal file descriptor, and this is checked below (still using the same ret and errno), but reported using the normal framework. This check above is done early, before we even announce the plan, so that we can skip *all* of the tests, since they don't make any sense when the syscall is not available at all.
Does that make sense?
Yup. I will apply this for Linux 6.6-rc1. You will get patchbot notification shortly.
