Subject: [PATCH] Add a helpful error message if GetUnreachableMemory fails

The primary reason for GetUnreachableMemory failing is selinux
blocking system apps from ptracing themselves.  Add a helpful
error message suggesting setenforce 0.

Bug: 27945735
Test: dumpsys meminfo --unreachable com.android.systemui
