Heiko Carstens a22506347d ftrace: preemptoff selftest not working
Impact: fix preemptoff and preemptirqsoff tracer self-tests

I was wondering why the preemptoff and preemptirqsoff tracer selftests
don't work on s390. After all its just that they get called from
non-preemptible context:

kernel_init() will execute all initcalls, however the first line in
kernel_init() is lock_kernel(), which causes the preempt_count to be
increased. Any later calls to add_preempt_count() (especially those
from the selftests) will therefore not result in a call to
trace_preempt_off() since the check below in add_preempt_count()
will be false:

        if (preempt_count() == val)
                trace_preempt_off(CALLER_ADDR0, get_parent_ip(CALLER_ADDR1));

Hence the trace buffer will be empty.

Fix this by releasing the BKL during the self-tests.
