[Devel] [PATCH vz10] selftests: x86: test_shadow_stack: return KSFT_SKIP when test is skipped

test_shadow_stack prints a message indicating that the test is
skipped in some cases, but still returns 1. This causes the test
to be reported as failed instead of skipped.

Return KSFT_SKIP in the skip path so the result is reported
correctly.
