[PATCH] selftests/exec: Check if the syscall exists and bail if not

From: Michael Ellerman
Date: Wed Jan 21 2015 - 02:41:27 EST


On systems which don't implement sys_execveat(), this test produces a
lot of output.

Add a check at the beginning to see if the syscall is present, and if
not just note one error and return.
