[LTP] [PATCH] cfs-scheduler/starvation.c: Skip test on realtime kernels

[Alessandro Carminati <acarmina@redhat.com>]

This commit introduces a check in the starvation test case to detect and
skip execution on realtime kernels. The test is designed for use with the
Completely Fair Scheduler and produces meaningless results when run on
realtime kernels.

By skipping the test on realtime kernels, we avoid confusion caused by
misleading results.

Changes include:
- Added a detection mechanism for realtime kernels.
- Logic to skip the test execution if the kernel is identified as
  realtime.
