syscall: skip non-root user namespace test if kernel forbids

Browse Source 
The unprivileged_userns_clone sysctl prevents unpriviledged users from
creating namespaces, which the AmbientCaps test does. It's set to 0 by
default in a few Linux distributions (Debian and Arch, possibly
others), so we need to check it before running the test.

I've verified that setting

  echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone

and then running the test *without this patch* makes it pass, which
proves that checking unprivileged_userns_clone is indeed sufficient.

Fixes #30698
