I don't think its a real failure. If the kernel does not support
UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE for shared memory the userfaultfd_zeropage_test can be
simply skipped.

By all means, this check should be moved to userfaultfd_zeropage_test().
Ideally, we should call here ksft_test_result_skip() and simply return from
the function.
