[PATCH] selftests/livepatch: Ignore NO_SUPPORT line in dmesg

From: Ricardo B. Marlière
Date: Tue Aug 19 2025 - 13:37:28 EST


Some systems might disable unloading a livepatch and when running tests on
them they fail like the following:

$ ./run_kselftest.sh -c livepatch
TAP version 13
1..8
# selftests: livepatch: test-livepatch.sh
# TEST: basic function patching ... not ok
#
# --- expected
