tracing/ftrace: don't insert TRACE_PRINT during selftests

Browse Source 
Impact: fix tracer selfstests false results

After setting a ftrace_printk somewhere in th kernel, I saw the
Function tracer selftest failing.

When a selftest occurs, the ring buffer is lurked to see if
some entries were inserted. But concurrent insertion such as
ftrace_printk could occured at the same time and could give
false positive or negative results.

This patch prevent prevent from TRACE_PRINT entries insertion
during selftests.
