[PATCH] vfio: selftests: Skip vfio_dma_map_limit_test if mapping returns -EINVAL

Skip vfio_dma_map_limit_test.{unmap_range,unmap_all} (instead of
failing) on systems that do not support mapping in the page-sized region
at the top of the u64 address space. Use -EINVAL as the signal for
detecting systems with this limitation, as that is what both VFIO Type1
and iommufd return.

A more robust solution that could be considered in the future would be
to explicitly check the range of supported IOVA regions and key off
that, instead of inferring from -EINVAL.
