[PATCH RESEND 6.6.y] kselftest: Add a ksft_perror() helper

[PATCH RESEND 6.6.y] kselftest: Add a ksft_perror() helper

[Edward Liaw]

From: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 907f33028871fa7c9a3db1efd467b78ef82cce20 ]

The standard library perror() function provides a convenient way to print
an error message based on the current errno but this doesn't play nicely
with KTAP output. Provide a helper which does an equivalent thing in a KTAP
compatible format.

nolibc doesn't have a strerror() and adding the table of strings required
doesn't seem like a good fit for what it's trying to do so when we're using
that only print the errno.
