[ Upstream commit 78c09c0f4df89fabdcfb3e5e53d3196cf67f64ef ]
The fake_sigreturn_sve_change_vl test needs at least two SVE vector
lengths so it can attempt to modify the VL in a signal frame. On systems
that support SVE but expose only one VL, the test initialization returns
false and the signal test harness reports the case as a failure.
Mark the testcase result as KSFT_SKIP before returning false when fewer
than two VLs are available. This preserves the old bool init callback
contract while reporting the unsupported configuration correctly.
This is a minimal backport of the behavior used by newer selftests, where
the same single-VL configuration is reported as SKIP instead of FAIL. The
5.15.y selftest still uses a bool init callback here, so keep returning
false after setting td->result to KSFT_SKIP.
