ftrace: force pass of preemptoff selftest
Impact: preemptoff not tested in selftest
Due to the BKL not being preemptable anymore, the selftest of the
preemptoff code can not be tested. It requires that it is called
with preemption enabled, but since the BKL is held, that is no
longer the case.
This patch simply skips those tests if it detects that the context
is not preemptable. The following will now show up in the tests:
Testing tracer preemptoff: can not test ... force PASSED
Testing tracer preemptirqsoff: can not test ... force PASSED
When the BKL is removed, or it becomes preemptable once again, then
the tests will be performed.
