[LTP] [PATCH] controllers/cgroup: Skip regression test on cgroup v2 systems

The cgroup_regression_test.sh test2 attempts to mount a cgroup
filesystem and expects a cgroup v1 hierarchy. On systems using
cgroup v2 (unified hierarchy), the test fails with:

TFAIL: Failed to mount cgroup filesystem

because the legacy cgroup v1 mount layout is not available.

Add a check for the presence of /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.controllers,
which indicates a cgroup v2 system. If detected, mark the test
as TCONF since the test is only applicable to cgroup v1.

This prevents false failures when running the controllers suite
on systems where cgroup v2 is enabled by default.
