Some MM selftests attempt to configure the amount of
HugeTLB pages of different sizes by writing to nr_hugepages.

PowerPC hash MMU pSeries systems advertise gigantic hugepage sizes
but do not support runtime allocation of such pages, writes
to the corresponding nr_hugepages file fail with -EINVAL.
This causes the test to bail out even though the failure is due
to a platform limitation rather than the
functionality being tested.

Treat -EINVAL from the sysfs write as a skipped configuration request
and continue running the test instead of failing.

Before patch:
   -------------------------
   running ./hugetlb-madvise

   TAP version 13
   1..1
     [INFO] detected hugetlb page size: 16777216 KiB
     [INFO] detected hugetlb page size: 16384 KiB
    ok 1 MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_REMOVE on hugetlb
    Totals: pass:1 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
    Bail out! /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-16777216kB/nr_hugepages
    write(0) failed: Invalid argument

    [FAIL]
