[PATCH v3] linux: return UNSUPPORTED from tst-mount if entering mount namespace fails

Before this the test fails if run in a chroot by a non-root user:

warning: could not become root outside namespace (Operation not permitted)

Checking that the test can enter a new mount namespace is more correct
than just checking the return value of support_become_root() as the test
code changes the mount namespace it runs in so running it as root on a
system that does not support mount namespaces should still skip.

Also change the test to remove the unnecessary fork.

v3: check support_enter_mount_namespace() return value, remove fork
v2: check support_can_chroot() rather than support_become_root return
value
