The gup_test binary will fail showing only the output of perror("open") in
the case that /sys/kernel/debug/gup_test is not found. This will almost
always be due to CONFIG_GUP_TEST not being set, which enables
compilation of a kernel that provides this file.

Add a short error message to clarify this failure and point the user to
the solution.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
