selftests/powerpc/ptrace: Explain why tests are skipped

Many tests require specific hardware features/configurations that a
typical machine might not have. As a result, it's common to see a test
is skipped. But it is tedious to find out why a test is skipped
when all it gives is the file location of the skip macro.

Convert SKIP_IF() to SKIP_IF_MSG(), with appropriate descriptions of why
the test is being skipped. This gives a general idea of why a test is
skipped, which can be looked into further if it doesn't make sense.

selftests/powerpc: ptrace-pkey: Don't update expected UAMOR value

With commit 4a4a5e5d2aad ("powerpc/pkeys: key allocation/deallocation
must not change pkey registers") we are not updating UAMOR on key
allocation. So don't update the expected uamor value in the test.

Rename variable to indicate that they are invalid values which we will
use to test ptrace update of pkeys.

selftests/powerpc: Fix pkey access right updates

The Power ISA mandates that all writes to the Authority
Mask Register (AMR) must always be preceded as well as
succeeded by a context synchronizing instruction.

This makes sure that the tests follow this requirement
when attempting to update a pkey's access rights.

selftests/powerpc: Fix ptrace-pkey for default execute permission change

The test case assumes execute-permissions of unallocated keys are
enabled by default, which is incorrect.
