Steven Rostedt (VMware) cbd965bde7 ftrace/selftests: Return the skip code when tracing directory not configured in kernel
If the kernel is not configured with ftrace enabled, the ftracetest
selftests should return the error code of "4" as that is the kselftests
"skip" code, and not "1" which means an error.

To determine if ftrace is enabled, first the newer "tracefs" is searched for
in /proc/mounts. If it is not found, then "debugfs" is searched for (as old
kernels do not have tracefs). If that is not found, an attempt to mount the
tracefs or debugfs is performed. This is done by seeing first if the
/sys/kernel/tracing directory exists. If it does than tracefs is configured
in the kernel and an attempt to mount it is performed.

If /sys/kernel/tracing does not exist, then /sys/kernel/debug is tested to
see if that directory exists. If it does, then an attempt to mount debugfs
on that directory is performed. If it does not exist, then debugfs is not
configured in the running kernel and the test exits with the skip code.

If either mount fails, then a normal error is returned as they do exist in
the kernel but something went wrong to mount them.

This changes the test to always try the tracefs file system first as it has
been in the kernel for some time now and it is better to test it if it is
available instead of always testing debugfs.
