[PATCH v2] tests/functional/x86_64: Limit the memlock test to Linux hosts

[Thomas Huth]

From: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>

The memlock test analyzes /proc/*/status files and expects the layout
from Linux in there. However, these files also exist on NetBSD hosts
with a completely different layout, causing this test to fail. Thus
limit the test to Linux hosts now. We already have a decorator to
skip a test if it is running on a certain host system, but in this
case, we rather want to skip if we are not running on a specific
host system, so introduce a new @skipUnlessOperatingSystem decorator
for this job.
