[PATCH 2/5] kselftest: Fix vdso_test_time to pass on skips

When a vDSO symbol is not found, all the testcases in vdso_test_abi usually
report a SKIP, which, in turn, is reported back to Kselftest as a PASS.

Testcase vdso_test_time, instead, reporting a SKIP, causes the whole set of
tests within vdso_test_abi to be considered FAIL when symbol is not found.

Fix it reporting a PASS when vdso_test_time cannot find the vdso symbol.

Seen as a failure on both a JUNO and a Dragonboard on both recent and old
