[LTP] [PATCH 1/3] lib: add function to check for kernel lockdown

Some syscalls are not available if the kernel is booted using the
'lockdown' feature. That can cause some tests to report fail, showing
a message like:

Lockdown: iopl01: iopl is restricted; see man kernel_lockdown.7

This patch adds a function that can be used by tests to check for this
case, so tests can be skipped rather than reporting a test failure.
