[Devel] [PATCH vz10] selftests/gpio: skip when gpio-mockup module is unavailable

The gpio-mockup test begins with:

    remove_module || fail "can't remove existing $module module"

where remove_module is simply 'modprobe -r -q gpio-mockup'. On a kernel
built without CONFIG_GPIO_MOCKUP (which is the case for many distro
kernels, including RHEL), the module file does not exist, modprobe -r
returns non-zero, and the test is reported as FAIL even though there
is nothing for it to test. Detect this case early and skip cleanly.

After this:

    # GPIO gpio-mockup test SKIP
    ok 1 selftests: gpio: gpio-mockup.sh # SKIP

instead of:

    not ok 1 selftests: gpio: gpio-mockup.sh # exit=1
