tests: avoid FP failure when cp fails for /proc/cpuinfo
On emulated aarch64 systems like in the qemu-based OpenBuildService of openSUSE, cp fails to copy /proc/cpuinfo because the inode number changes between the initial stat() call and copying the file: $ cp /proc/cpuinfo exp cp: skipping file '/proc/cpuinfo', as it was \ replaced while being copied * tests/cp/proc-zero-len.sh: When cp fails, check on the above error message to skip the test.
