Hmm, I guess that we should produce TINFO if the file does not exist and
TWARN if we cannot write to it. Something as:

if (access(score_path, F_OK)) {
	tst_res(TINFO,
		"'%s' does not exist, skipping OOM score adjustement",
		score_path);
	return;
}

if (access(score_path, W_OK)) {
	tst_res(TWARN, "'%s' not writeable, are you root?", score_path);
	return;
}
