tools/vm/slabinfo: indicates the cause of the EACCES error
If you don't run slabinfo with a superuser, return 0 when read_slab_dir()
reads get_obj_and_str("slabs", &t), because fopen() fails (sometimes
EACCES), causing slabcache() to return directly, without any error during
this time, we should tell the user about the EACCES problem instead of
running successfully($?=0) without any error printing.
For example:
$ ./slabinfo
Permission denied, Try using superuser <== What this submission did
$ sudo ./slabinfo
