The gup_test binary will fail showing only the output of perror("open") in the case that /sys/kernel/debug/gup_test is not found. This will almost always be due to CONFIG_GUP_TEST not being set, which enables compilation of a kernel that provides this file. Add a short error message to clarify this failure and point the user to the solution.
