[0/3] kselftest framework to introduce TEST_CONFIG_DEPS

Message

Currently, kselftests does not have a generalised mechanism to skip compilation
and run tests when required kernel configuration options are disabled.

This patch series addresses this limitation by introducing a new flag, 
'TEST_CONFIG_DEPS' in lib.mk, along with corresponding updates to the 
documentation. 
The selftests/livepatch/Makefile has been updated to utilize TEST_CONFIG_DEPS.

Siddharth Menon (3):
  docs/kselftests: Explain the usage of TEST_CONFIG_DEPS
  selftests/lib.mk: Introduce check to validate required configs
  selftests/livepatch: Check if required config options are enabled
