[LTP] [PATCH] coredump01: Skip pipe core_pattern under SELinux enforcing

From: Avinesh Kumar <avinesh.kumar@suse.com>
SELinux in enforcing mode silently blocks the kernel's usermode-helper
spawn for the piped core_pattern, so the helper never runs and the
test reports FAIL.
coredump01.c:126: TINFO: Testing pipe core_pattern
coredump01.c:100: TFAIL: coredump01_helper did not report any core dump
Skip with TCONF instead of failing.
