If the selftest is not running as root, it should fail and give an appropriate warning to the user. This patch adds ksft_exit_fail_msg() if the test is not running as root.
This change introduces a problem - skip is the right exit code when a test requires root privileges.
Logs:
Before change:
TAP version 13 1..1 ok 1 # SKIP This test needs root to run!
After change:
TAP version 13 1..1 Bail out! Error : Need to run as root# Planned tests != run tests (1 != 0) Totals: pass:0 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0

You can change this to ksft_exit_skip and keep the same message.
return 1;
ksft_exit_fail_msg("Error : Need to run as root");
This is incorrect - should be skip not fail. There is no need to change the message.
