Hmm I actually like having the helper. What if we move all the
ksft_exit_skip() and ksft_exit_fail_msg() calls inside and rename it
to check_zswap_enabled()? We can also just read one character:

static void check_zswap_enabled(void)
{
       char value;

       if (access("/sys/module/zswap", F_OK))
               ksft_exit_skip("zswap isn't configured\n");

       if (read_text("/sys/module/zswap/parameters/enabled", value,
sizeof(value)) <= 0)
               ksft_exit_fail_msg("Failed to read
/sys/module/zswap/parameters/enabled\n");

       if (value == 'N')
               ksft_exit_skip("zswap is disabled (hint: echo 1 >
/sys/module/zswap/parameters/enabled)\n");
}
