selftests/vm: only run 128TBswitch with 5-level paging



The test va_128TBswitch.c expects to be able to pass mmap an address hint
and length that cross the address 1<<47.  On x86_64, this is not possible
without 5-level page tables, so the test fails.

The test is already only run on 64-bit powerpc and x86_64 archs, but this
patch adds an additional check on x86_64 that skips the test if
PG_TABLE_LEVELS < 5.  There is precedent for checking /proc/config.gz in
selftests, e.g.  in selftests/firmware.

Running the tests produces the desired output:

sudo make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=vm run_tests
---------------------------
running ./va_128TBswitch.sh
---------------------------
./va_128TBswitch.sh: PG_TABLE_LEVELS=4, must be >= 5 to run this test
[SKIP]
-------------------------------
