[PATCH] print reason for failure in kcmp_test

From: Dave Jones
Date: Thu Oct 18 2012 - 15:41:19 EST


I was curious why sys_kcmp wasn't working, which led me to the testcase.
It turned out I hadn't enabled CHECKPOINT_RESTORE in the kernel I was testing.
Add a decoding of errno to the testcase to make that obvious.
