PATCH v2 1/1 kselftest: x86: Improve MOV SS test result message

Apparently, this test completes successfully when it completes execution without either causing a kernel panic or being killed by the kernel. This new test result message is more descriptive and grammatically correct.

There are no changes in v2. I'm resending this patch because I addressed it to the wrong email for Shuah.
